Title
Case-sensitive excludedSubtrees name constraints cause Auth Bypass in crypto/x509
Summary
When verifying a certificate chain containing excluded DNS constraints, these constraints are not correctly applied to wildcard DNS SANs which use a different case than the constraint. This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool, or in the system certificate pool.
Severity ?
7.5 (High)
