DEBIAN-CVE-2026-73253

Mongoose is an embedded web server and network library.

Mongoose is an embedded web server and network library. Prior to version 7.22, an on-path network attacker with a wildcard certificate for a parent domain can impersonate deeper subdomains to a client using the built-in TLS stack. The mgtlsverifycertsan() and mgtlsverifycertcn() functions in src/tlsbuiltin.c call mgmatch(), whose wildcard can cross DNS label boundaries, so a pattern such as *.example.com can match foo.bar.example.com. The resulting hostname verification bypass permits interception and modification of TLS traffic. This issue is fixed in version 7.22.
