Description

A flaw was found in Botan, a C++ cryptography library. During the processing of X.509 certificate paths with DNS name constraints, the library incorrectly handles mixed-case Common Names (CN) in end-entity certificates that lack a Subject Alternative Name. A remote attacker could exploit this by crafting a malicious certificate with a mixed-case CN to bypass `excludedSubtrees` constraints. This vulnerability could lead to a certificate validation bypass, allowing an attacker to present a certificate that should have been rejected.
