Vulnerability CVE-2012-5820
Published: 2012-11-04   Modified: 2012-11-05

Description:
The developer-account sample code in Google AdMob does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
