https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1467606 Bug ID: 1467606 Summary: CVE-2017-10789 perl-DBD-MySQL: Possible MITM attack when mysql_ssl=1 Product: Security Response Component: vulnerability Keywords: Security Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: security-response-team@xxxxxxxxxx Reporter: amaris@xxxxxxxxxx CC: hhorak@xxxxxxxxxx, jorton@xxxxxxxxxx, jplesnik@xxxxxxxxxx, perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, perl-maint-list@xxxxxxxxxx, ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx, psabata@xxxxxxxxxx The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl uses the mysql_ssl=1 setting to mean that SSL is optional (even though this setting's documentation has a "your communication with the server will be encrypted" statement), which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, a related issue to CVE-2015-3152.
