Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1582-2
Issue Date: 2013-11-21
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-4238
—
A flaw was found in the way the Python SSL module handled X.509
certificate fields that contain a NULL byte. An attacker could potentially
exploit this flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to spoof SSL
servers. Note that to exploit this issue, an attacker would need to obtain
a carefully crafted certificate signed by an authority that the client
trusts. (CVE-2013-4238)
