CVE-2011-4197
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.5)—
etc/inc/certs.inc in the PKI implementation in pfSense before 2.0.1 creates each X.509 certificate with a true value for the CA basic constraint, which allows remote attackers to create sub-certificates for arbitrary subjects by leveraging the private key.
