Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in haxx.se cURL and libcURL up to 7.25.0 (Network Utility Software). Affected by this issue is the function hostmatch of the component SSL Certificate Handler. The manipulation as part of a Wildcard leads to a cryptographic issue vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-310. Impacted is integrity. CVE summarizes:

cURL and libcurl 7.1 before 7.36.0, when using the OpenSSL, axtls, qsossl or gskit libraries for TLS, recognize a wildcard IP address in the subject s Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.
