Overview

github.com/pion/dtls/v2 is a DTLS 1.2 Server/Client implementation for Go.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation where a DTLS Client can provide a certificate that doesn't possess a private key without being rejected.

Note: This issue affects users that are using Client certificates only. The connection itself is still secure.
