CVE-2012-1177
libgdata before 0.10.2 and 0.11.x before 0.11.1 does not validate SSL certificates, which allows remote attackers to obtain user names and passwords via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack with a spoofed certificate.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.90%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
