Dropped from cauldron.

Whiteboard: MGA4TOO, MGA3TOO => (none)
Version: Cauldron => 4
CC: (none) => mageia

Comment 2 David Walser 2014-12-24 22:53:08 CET
Still gone from Cauldron for now (thankfully).

In Mageia 4 SVN it's updated to 0.3.15 to fix this and synced with Fedora 20.
Comment 3 David Walser 2014-12-24 23:43:35 CET
Updated package uploaded for Mageia 4.

Verifying that the updated packages install cleanly is sufficient for testing this update.

Advisory:
========================

Updated not-yet-commons-ssl packages fixes security vulnerability:

It was discovered that the implementation used by the Not Yet Commons SSL
project to check that the server hostname matches the domain name in the
subject's CN field was flawed. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle
(MITM) attack, where the attacker can spoof a valid certificate using a
specially crafted subject (CVE-2014-3604).
