NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openfortivpn package and not the openfortivpn package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in openfortivpn 1.11.0 when used with OpenSSL 1.0.2 or later. tunnel.c mishandles certificate validation because an X509_check_host negative error code is interpreted as a successful return value.
