LIN8-12492 : Security Advisory - glib-networking - CVE-2020-13645

Created: May 31, 2020 Updated: Jul 1, 2020

Resolved Date: Jun 23, 2020

Found In Version: 8.0.0.1

Fix Version: 8.0.0.34

Severity: Standard

Applicable for: Wind River Linux 8

Component/s: Userspace

Description

In GNOME glib-networking through 2.64.2, the implementation of GTlsClientConnection skips hostname verification of the server's TLS certificate if the application fails to specify the expected server identity. This is in contrast to its intended documented behavior, to fail the certificate verification. Applications that fail to provide the server identity, including Balsa before 2.5.11 and 2.6.x before 2.6.1, accept a TLS certificate if the certificate is valid for any host.
