CVE-2003-0370

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Konqueror Embedded and KDE 2.2.2 and earlier do not validate the Common Name (CN) field for X.509 Certificates, which could allow remote attackers to spoof certificates via a man-in-the-middle attack.

Risk Assessment

The lack of CN validation poses a risk that attackers could intercept communications, potentially leading to data leaks or fraud.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of the software that improves X.509 certificate validation.
