Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-10-15 14:25:58 UTC
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2010-3900 to
the following vulnerability:

Midori before 0.2.5, when WebKitGTK+ before 1.1.14 or LibSoup before
2.29.91 is used, does not verify X.509 certificates, which allows
man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary https web sites via a
crafted server certificate, a related issue to CVE-2010-3312.

Note: 
=====
The current versions of midori packages, as shipped with Fedora release
of 12 and 13 are already upstream v0.2.6 based (soon these will be v0.2.8
upstream version based), so it is possible this flaw was already fixed.

If that is the case, please provide the link to upstream changeset
addressing the issue and close this bug with "CURRENTRELEASE".

Similar bug for epiphany - bug #636933.

Comment 3 Vincent Danen 2015-08-24 15:39:40 UTC
Current Fedora has midori 0.5.10 which should be fixed.
