CVE-2020-13645
Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-295
Improper Certificate Validation
Publication date:
28/05/2020
Last modified:
07/11/2023
Description
In GNOME glib-networking through 2.64.2, the implementation of GTlsClientConnection skips hostname verification of the server's TLS certificate if the application fails to specify the expected server identity. This is in contrast to its intended documented behavior, to fail the certificate verification. Applications that fail to provide the server identity, including Balsa before 2.5.11 and 2.6.x before 2.6.1, accept a TLS certificate if the certificate is valid for any host.
