NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgdata package and not the libgdata package as distributed by Ubuntu.

libgdata before 0.10.2 and 0.11.x before 0.11.1 does not validate SSL certificates, which allows remote attackers to obtain user names and passwords via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack with a spoofed certificate.
