Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2009-5138 (CCN-91544)

Assigned:2009-01-09
Published:2009-01-09
Updated:2014-04-01
Summary:GnuTLS before 2.7.6, when the GNUTLS_VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT flag is not enabled, treats version 1 X.509 certificates as intermediate CAs, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions by leveraging a X.509 V1 certificate from a trusted CA to issue new certificates, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-1959.
