CVE-2014-7274: Getmail

Medium severity, CVSS 5.8. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The IMAP-over-SSL implementation in getmail 4.44.0 does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof IMAP servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate from a recognized Certification Authority.

Affected products

• Getmail Getmail: version 4.44.0 only
