NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jbcs-httpd24-httpd-manual package and not the jbcs-httpd24-httpd-manual package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

libcurl did not check the server certificate of TLS connections done to a host specified as an IP address, when built to use mbedTLS. libcurl would wrongly avoid using the set hostname function when the specified hostname was given as an IP address, therefore completely skipping the certificate check. This affects all uses of TLS protocols (HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POPS3, SMTPS, etc).
