Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication due to the handling of TLS 1.2 renegotiation, which lets the client change the servername on an established connection while keeping its existing client certificate authentication. An attacker can access a host protected by a stricter client-certificate policy by authenticating for a permitted host and then renegotiating the connection under the protected host's servername. Only TLS servers that apply different client-certificate policies per hostname and serve TLS 1.2 connections are affected.
