Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2012-3523 (CCN-77919)

Assigned:2012-08-22
Published:2012-08-22
Updated:2013-02-22
Summary:The STARTTLS implementation in nnrpd in INN before 2.5.3 does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a "plaintext command injection" attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411.
