CVE-2012-5583
First published: Fri Jun 06 2014(Updated: )
phpCAS before 1.3.2 does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
