MEDIUM 5.4EPSS 0.48%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.48%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

It was found that Satellite 5 configured with SSL/TLS for the PostgreSQL backend failed to correctly validate X.509 server certificate host name fields. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof a PostgreSQL server using a specially crafted X.509 certificate.
