CVE-2012-5456

by Fred · 24/10/2012

The Zoner AntiVirus Free application for Android does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject’s Common Name (CN) field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate, as demonstrated by a server used for updating virus signature files.
