CVE-2009-3490 wget: incorrect verification of SSL certificate with NUL
in name
Daniel Stenberg reported that Wget is affected by the previously
published "null prefix attack", caused by incorrect handling of NULL
characters in X.509 certificates. If an attacker is able to get a
carefully-crafted certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority,
the attacker could use the certificate during a man-in-the-middle attack
and potentially confuse Wget into accepting it by mistake. (CVE-2009-3490)
