4) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3577)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation. A remote attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack and spoof SSL servers via a "CN=" string in a field in the distinguished name (DN) of a certificate.


5) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-5262)
