*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Recently, we are trying to find SSL security problems by static
analysis. For example, as we all know, Hostname verification is an
important step when verifying X509 certificates, however, people tend to
miss the step or to misunderstand the APIs when using SSL/TLS, which
might cause severe man in the middle attack and break the entire TLS
mechanism. And static analysis is a way of finding whether the APIs are
called correctly.

Now, we find some SSL problems in aiccu, the following is details:

1. 
"/aiccu-20070115/common/common.c
 Certificate verification missing

Still vulnerable in Ubunutu 14.04
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/aiccu/trusty/view/head:/common/common.c";

2. 
"/aiccu-20070115/common/common.c
 Host name verification missing

Still vulnerable in Ubunutu 14.04
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/aiccu/trusty/view/head:/common/common.c";
