Summary:

Fraudulent security certificates could allow sensitive information to
be exposed when accessing the Internet.

Software Description:

Details:

It was discovered that the Ubuntu Single Sign On Client incorrectly
validated server certificates when using HTTPS connections. If a remote
attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could
be exploited to alter or compromise confidential information.
