Date : December 4, 2009
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in libneo:

neon before 0.28.6, when OpenSSL is used, does not properly handle a
'\0' (NUL) character in a domain name in the subject's Common Name
(CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle
attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate
issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to
CVE-2009-2408 (CVE-2009-2474).

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.

This update provides a solution to these vulnerabilities.
