openssl is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MitM). The vulnerability exists in the way OpenSSL checked the verification of certificates. An attacker in control of a malicious server, or able to effect a βman in the middleβ attack, could present a malformed SSL/TLS signature from a certificate chain to a vulnerable client and bypass validation.
