From ${URL} :

Marcus Meissner reported that the Claws Mail's RSSyl plug-in, an RSS feed aggregator, does not verify SSL 
certificates:

http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3106

This allows for man-in-the-middle attacks. This issue was assigned CVE-2014-2576:

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Comment 1 Kristian Fiskerstrand (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-18 21:12:12 UTC
This issue is fixed upstream in claws-mail 3.10.0: Implement SSL certificate verification option (default, and per-feed). Fixes bug #3106, "Rssyl plugin does not verify SSL peer at all" http://git.claws-mail.org/?p=claws.git;a=commit;h=123cf6fbfe84f47d6bf277efc835a1b353ed0c94

CVE-2014-2576 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-2576):
  plugins/rssyl/feed.c in Claws Mail before 3.10.0 disables the
  CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST check for CN or SAN host name fields, which makes it
  easier for remote attackers to spoof servers and conduct man-in-the-middle
  (MITM) attacks.

Maintainer(s): Since ebuild for 3.10.1 is in the three. Please let us know when the ebuild is ready for  stabilization, or call for stabilization.
