1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-5240)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
Magento 1.5 and 1.6.2 does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
