It was reported that the SSL/TLS plug-ins failed to check that the Basic Constraints extension allowed intermediate certificates to act as Certificate Authorities (CAs). An attacker could use this flaw to create a fake certificate that Pidgin would trust, which could be used for man-in-the-middle attacks. This is the same situation as described in <a href="http://www.thoughtcrime.org/ie-ssl-chain.txt">http://www.thoughtcrime.org/ie-ssl-chain.txt</a> Acknowledgments: Name: the Pidgin project Upstream: Jacob Appelbaum, Moxie Marlinspike
