CVE-2012-3523
Last modified
CVE-2012-3523 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The STARTTLS implementation in nnrpd in INN before 2.5.3 does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a "plaintext command injection" attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411.. EPSS estimates a 3.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
