Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-05-22 07:15:28 UTC
From ${URL} :

Debian bug #783601[1] reported that Gobby - a collaborative text editor
- silently accepted expired certificates. The upstream bug report is
[2]. The bug is actually in libinfinity and the fix is available on [2].

libinfinity does support certificate pinning and hence contains the
ability to disable some checks like trusted issuer and hostname
verification. However the catch-all validity check was in the wrong
location.

Please assign a CVE ID for this.

Kind regards and thanks
Philipp Kern

@maintainer(s): since the package or the affected version has never been marked as stable, we don't need to stabilize it. After the bump, please remove the affected versions from the tree.
