NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grilo-devel package and not the grilo-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In GNOME grilo though 0.3.13, grl-net-wc.c does not enable TLS certificate verification on the SoupSessionAsync objects it creates, leaving users vulnerable to network MITM attacks. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2016-20011.
