CVE-2007-6591 Information

Description

KDE Konqueror 3.5.5 and 3.95.00 when a user accepts an SSL server certificate on the basis of the CN domain name in the DN field regards the certificate as also accepted for all domain names in subjectAltName:dNSName fields even though these fields cannot be examined in the product which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into accepting an invalid certificate for a spoofed web site.
