LOW

ext/openssl/ossl_ocsp.c in Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 does not properly check the return value from the OCSP_basic_verify function, which might allow remote attackers to successfully present an invalid X.509 certificate, possibly involving a revoked certificate.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
