Description:
A security issue has been discovered in Links, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.
The problem is that the certificate presented by a server at the beginning of an SSL session is not verified. This can be exploited to spoof valid servers via a man-in-the-middle attack.
The security issue is confirmed in version 2.2. Other versions may also be affected.
