Package: openconnect
Version: 2.22-1.1
Severity: grave
Tags: security fixed-upstream

Versions of OpenConnect before 2.25 do not verify that the server SSL 
certificate matches the server hostname, which enables an attacker to 
perform an MITM attack on the connection.  This can be fixed by upgrading 
to OpenConnect 2.25.

From the upstream changelog:

OpenConnect v2.25 — 2010-05-15
• Always validate server certificate, even when no extra --cafile is 
  provided.
• Add --no-cert-check option to avoid certificate validation.
• Check server hostname against its certificate.
• Provide text-mode function for reviewing and accepting "invalid" 
  certificates.
• Fix libproxy detection on NetBSD.
