A vulnerability was identified in OpenSSL. A remote user can bypass certificate validation on the target system.
When the validation of a certificate chain fails, the system attempts to validate an alternate certificate chain but does not check the CA flag of untrusted certificates. As a result, a remote user can cause the target system to validate an invalid certificate using a valid leaf certificate.
