Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.5-2sarge2.2
Severity: important
According to RFC 2818 Section 3.1 certificates may contain the wildcard
character * which is considered to match any single domain name component
or component fragment. E.g., *.a.com matches foo.a.com but not
bar.foo.a.com. f*.com matches foo.com but not bar.com.
Lynx in its current implementation in Debian sid does not understand this.
Since the misdetection of SSL certificates is of severity important I
assume that this is as well as it renders valid certificates sort of
invalid.

Joey
