CVE-2009-3490 medium priority: Debian including 1 source packages (wget), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
GNU Wget before 1.12 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the Common Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle remote attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.
