Description Wade Mealing 2014-10-21 03:46:52 EDT

Ovirt-engine did not verify key attributes from the the vdsm X.509 certificates. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof an SSL certificate with invalid attributes that would otherwise prevent an certificate from being presented as valid
