CVE-2016-4467 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:15.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qpid-proton package and not the qpid-proton package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The C client and C-based client bindings in the Apache Qpid Proton library before 0.13.1 on Windows do not properly verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate when using the SChannel-based security layer, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
