NVD Description

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

CyaSSL does not check the key usage extension in leaf certificates, which allows remote attackers to spoof servers via a crafted server certificate not authorized for use in an SSL/TLS handshake.
