  <background>
    <p>The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL/TLS encryption wrapper
      between a client and a local or remote server.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>It was discovered that stunnel did not correctly verified the client
      certificate when options “redirect” and “verifyChain” are used.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>A remote attacker could send a specially crafted certificate, possibly
      resulting in a breach of integrity or confidentiality.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All stunnel users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/stunnel-5.58"
    </code>
