CVE-2020-7042: Fedoraproject Fedora

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An issue was discovered in openfortivpn 1.11.0 when used with OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later. tunnel.c mishandles certificate validation because the hostname check operates on uninitialized memory. The outcome is that a valid certificate is never accepted (only a malformed certificate may be accepted).

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 30 only; version 31 only; version 32 only
• Openfortivpn Project Openfortivpn: before 1.12.0 (fixed in 1.12.0)
• Opensuse Backports Sle: version 15.0 only
• Opensuse Leap: version 15.1 only
