SSL Server Spoofing Vulnerability

CVE-2013-7449 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:N

The ssl_do_connect function in common/server.c in HexChat before 2.10.2, XChat, and XChat-GNOME does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
