Insecure digital certificates In openssl

Description

A flaw was found in the way OpenSSL will accept a certificate with explicitly set Basic Constraints to CA:FALSE as a valid CA if it is present in the trusted bundle. This flaw allows an attacker with access to a private key, of which the corresponding certificate is in the trust bundle, to use this flaw for MITM to any connection from the victim machine.
