CVE-2012-3446: Improper Input Validation

November 4, 2012 (updated November 6, 2012)

Apache Libcloud uses an incorrect regular expression during verification of whether 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 a crafted certificate.
