Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PHP (affected versions not specified)
Description
OpenSSL stream peer verification incorrectly handles certificate validation by falling back to the Common Name (CN) when no entries in the
subjectAltName (SAN) match. According to RFC 6125, the CN should be ignored if the certificate contains any service identity. This behavior allows a certificate trusted for one name to be used to impersonate another if the CN matches the requested peer name despite a non-matching DNS SAN.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
