SSL: OpenSSL Alternative Chains Certificate Forgery Policy Bypass
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against OpenSSL. A successful attack could allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication by impersonating users or services.
Extended Description
The X509_verify_cert function in crypto/x509/x509_vfy.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1n, 1.0.1o, 1.0.2b, and 1.0.2c does not properly process X.509 Basic Constraints cA values during identification of alternative certificate chains, which allows remote attackers to spoof a Certification Authority role and trigger unintended certificate verifications via a valid leaf certificate.
