CVE-2016-5672

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Intel Crosswalk versions before 19.49.514.5, 20.x before 20.50.533.11, 21.x before 21.51.546.0, and 22.x before 22.51.549.0 interpret a user's acceptance of one invalid X.509 certificate as acceptance of all invalid X.509 certificates without prompting. This makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to attacks that lead to the leakage of sensitive data, as invalid certificates can be accepted without warning.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update Intel Crosswalk to the latest version to mitigate the risk associated with accepting invalid X.509 certificates.
