Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Epiphany versions 2.28 through 2.29

Description The issue allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary https web sites via a crafted X.509 server certificate, as Epiphany unconditionally displays a closed-lock icon for any URL beginning with the https: substring without warning the user.

Recommendations For Epiphany versions 2.28 through 2.29, consider disabling the use of WebKit and LibSoup until a patch is available to prevent the unconditional display of the closed-lock icon for https URLs.
