CVE-2015-1828: MitM vulnerability

October 6, 2017 (updated October 17, 2019)

The file http.rb of the http package fails to call the OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#post_connection_check method to perform hostname verification. Because of this, an attacker with a valid certificate but with a mismatched subject can perform a Man-in-the-Middle attack.
