FKIE_CVE-2007-5162
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2007-10-01 05:17 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:45
Severity
Summary
The connect method in lib/net/http.rb in the (1) Net::HTTP and (2) Net::HTTPS libraries in Ruby 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 does not verify that the commonName (CN) field in a server certificate matches the domain name in an HTTPS request, which makes it easier for remote attackers to intercept SSL transmissions via a man-in-the-middle attack or spoofed web site.
