Description
The ssl_do_connect function in common/server.c in HexChat before 2.10.2, XChat, and XChat-GNOME does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
Affected configurations

• canonical ubuntu linux 14.04
• canonical ubuntu linux 15.10
• xchat xchat
