botan 1.11.x before 1.11.22 improperly handles wildcard matching against hostnames, which might allow remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a valid X.509 certificate, as demonstrated by accepting *.example.com as a match for bar.foo.example.com.

Weakness

The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.
