NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream botan1.10 package and not the botan1.10 package as distributed by Debian.

botan 1.11.x before 1.11.22 improperly handles wildcard matching against hostnames, which might allow remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a valid X.509 certificate, as demonstrated by accepting *.example.com as a match for bar.foo.example.com.
