Description

This host has libESMTP installed and is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

Vulnerabilities Insight: Multiple flaws are due to: - An error in 'match_component()' function in 'smtp-tls.c' when processing substrings. It treats two strings as equal if one is a substring of the other, which allows attackers to spoof trusted certificates via a crafted subjectAltName. - An error in handling of 'X.509 certificate'. It does not properly handle a '&qt?&qt' character in a domain name in the 'subject&qts Common Name' field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate.
