CVE-2014-5444 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:14.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream geary package and not the geary package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Geary before 0.6.3 does not present the user with a warning when a TLS certificate error is detected, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted certificate.
