matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or
subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allowed
man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via andaarbitrary
valid certificate (CVE-2012-5783).

description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
