NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnome-online-accounts package and not the gnome-online-accounts package as distributed by Debian.

Gnome Online Accounts (GOA) 3.6.x before 3.6.3 and 3.7.x before 3.7.91, does not properly validate SSL certificates when creating accounts for providers who use the libsoup library, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information such as credentials by sniffing the network. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-0240.
