https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2012-6153 It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-5783 was incomplete. The code added to check that the server hostname matches the domain name in the subject's CN field was flawed. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, where the attacker can spoof a valid certificate using a specially crafted subject. This issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of Red Hat Product Security. --- Henri Salo
