CVE-2013-6444: PyWBEM TOCTOU vulnerability in certificate validation
(updated )
PyWBEM 0.7 and earlier does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject’s Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
