The (1) Net::ftptls, (2) Net::telnets, (3) Net::imap, (4) Net::pop, and (5) Net::smtp libraries in Ruby 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 do not verify that the commonName (CN) field in a server certificate matches the domain name in a request sent over SSL, which makes it easier for remote attackers to intercept SSL transmissions via a man-in-the-middle attack or spoofed web site, different components than CVE-2007-5162.

CVE-2007-5770 [MEDIUM] Ruby vulnerabilities
Title: Ruby vulnerabilities
Summary: Ruby vulnerabilities
Chris Clark discovered that Ruby's HTTPS module did not check for
commonName mismatches early enough during SSL negotiation. If a remote
attacker were able to perform machine-in-the-middle attacks, this flaw could
be exploited to view sensitive information in HTTPS requests coming from
Ruby applications. (CVE-2007-5162)
It was discovered that Ruby's FTPTLS, telnets, and IMAPS modules
did not check the commonName when performing SSL certificate checks.
If a remote attacker were able to perform machine-in-the-middle attacks,
this flaw could be exploited to eavesdrop on encrypted communications
from Ruby applications using these protocols. (CVE-2007-5770)
Instructions: In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect t
