a vulnerability affecting applications that verify certificates, including SSL/Transport Layer Security
(TLS)/Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) clients and SSL/TLS/DTLS servers using client authentication.
Multiple Cisco products incorporate a version of the OpenSSL package affected by this vulnerability that could
allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be bypassed,
enabling the attacker to forge `trusted` certificates that could be used to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks.
Cisco will release free software updates that address this vulnerability.
Workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability may be available.");
