Insecure SSL/TLS Certificate Validation in ownCloud Desktop Client

CVE-2015-7298 · MEDIUM Severity

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

ownCloud Desktop Client before 2.0.1, when compiled with a Qt release after 5.3.x, does not call QNetworkReply::ignoreSslErrors with the list of errors to be ignored, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks by leveraging a server using a self-signed certificate. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a partial CVE-2015-4456 regression.
