Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

According to RFC2818, if the certificate sent by the TLS server has a valid Common Name, but the Subject Alternative Name does not match the Authenticate Name in the server-ssl profile, the connection should be terminated.

Impact

A TLS connection succeeds which should fail.

Conditions

-- A server-ssl profile is enabled on a virtual server and has the 'authenticate-name' property set. -- The TLS server presents a certificate in which the Subject Alternative Name does not match the configured authenticate-name. -- Common Criteria mode licensed and configured.

Workaround

There is no workaround at this time.

Fix Information

A remote TLS server certificate with a bad Subject Alternative Name is now rejected when Common Criteria mode is licensed and configured.
