CVE-2014-3607 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. DefaultHostnameVerifier in Ldaptive (formerly vt-ldap) does not properly verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.. EPSS estimates a 0.87% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
