Gale 0.99 and earlier does not properly check the return value from the OpenSSL EVP_VerifyFinal function, which allows remote attackers to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS signature for DSA and ECDSA keys, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077.
Weakness
When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
