CVE-2014-8155

Publication date 31 December 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

GnuTLS before 2.9.10 does not verify the activation and expiration dates of CA certificates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a certificate issued by a CA certificate that is (1) not yet valid or (2) no longer valid.
