CVE-2009-3455

Apple Safari, possibly before 4.0.3, on Mac OS X does not properly handle a ‘’ character in a domain name in the subject’s Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.
