CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/326.html

neon before 0.28.6, when OpenSSL or GnuTLS is used, does not properly handle a 0 character in a domain name in the subjects Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.
