(OpenSSL: Alternate chains certificate forgery)

    During certificate verification, OpenSSL attempts to find an alternative
      certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain fails.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted
      certificates to be bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a
      valid leaf certificate to act as a CA and “issue” an invalid
      certificate.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
