Last modified
CVE-2013-7440 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The ssl.match_hostname function in CPython (aka Python) before 2.7.9 and 3.x before 3.3.3 does not properly handle wildcards in hostnames, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.. EPSS estimates a 1.88% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
