CVE-2009-3941
Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—
Martin Lambers mpop before 1.0.19, when OpenSSL is used, does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the (1) subject's Common Name or (2) Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
- Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.93%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 59
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
