Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that PyOpenSSL, a Python wrapper around the OpenSSL library, does not properly handle certificates with NULL characters in the Subject Alternative Name field.

A remote attacker in the position to obtain a certificate for 'www.foo.org0.example.com' from a CA that a SSL client trusts, could use this to spoof www.foo.org and conduct man-in-the-middle attacks between the PyOpenSSL-using client and the SSL server.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.13-2+deb7u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.13-2.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pyopenssl packages.
