[Secure-testing-team] Bug#511261: CVE-2008-0049: Inproper certificate validation

[Moritz Muehlenhoff]

Package: belpic
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Hi Wouter,

CVE-2009-0049:

Belgian eID middleware (eidlib) 2.6.0 and earlier does not properly check the
return value from the OpenSSL EVP_VerifyFinal function, which allows remote
attackers to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS
signature, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077.

Cheers,
