in X.509 certificate verification, specifically in name constraint checking, by allowing an attacker to craft a malicious email address to overflow an arbitrary number of bytes containing the . character (decimal 46) on the stack. Note This occurs after certificate chain signature verification and requires either a CA to have signed the malicious certificate or for the application to continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer. In a TLS client, this can be triggered by connecting to a malicious server. In a TLS server, this can be triggered if the server requests client authentication and a malicious client connects.
