CVE-2013-0945: Input Validation
First published: Fri May 03 2013(Updated: )
EMC Avamar Client before 6.1.101-89 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.
