Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [xx XXX xxxx]
- *)
+ *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
+
+ During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
+ alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
+ fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
+ 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.
+
+ This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
+ (Google/BoringSSL).
+ [Matt Caswell]
