Original advisory details:

 Scott Cantor discovered that libcurl incorrectly verified CN and SAN name
 fields when digital signature verification was disabled. When libcurl is
 being used in this uncommon way by specific applications, an attacker could
 exploit this to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack to view sensitive
 information or alter encrypted communications.");
