CVE-2014-0350

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions POCO C++ Libraries versions prior to 1.4.6p4

Description The issue allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via crafted DNS PTR records that are requested during comparison of a server name to a wildcard domain name in an X.509 certificate. This occurs due to a flaw in the Poco::Net::X509Certificate::verify method in the NetSSL library.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.4.6p4, update to version 1.4.6p4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of wildcard domain names in X.509 certificates to minimize the risk of exploitation.
