NVD Description

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

ARM mbed TLS before 1.3.21 and 2.x before 2.1.9, if optional authentication is configured, allows remote attackers to bypass peer authentication via an X.509 certificate chain with many intermediates. NOTE: although mbed TLS was formerly known as PolarSSL, the releases shipped with the PolarSSL name are not affected.
