Package: wget
Version: 1.10.2-3
Severity: normal

Wget uses an obsolete way of verifying SSL certificates by matching the
Common Name field against the domain name. It should use X.509 v3
Subject Alternative Names instead, or at the very least be aware of the
fact that some certificates have several CN fields.

Because of this problem, Wget does not recognize multi-domain certificates
such as ones sold by Comodo at positivessl.com. For an example, go to
https://www.majorfiresupply.com/ and take a look at the certificate.
