Vulnerability: SSL Server Spoofing in GIT's imap-send Command

CVE-2013-0308 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

The imap-send command in GIT before 1.8.1.4 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.
