It was found that Gnome Online Accounts (GOA) did not perform SSL
certificate validation, when performing Windows Live and Facebook
accounts creation. A remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct man-
in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks, possibly leading to their ability to
obtain sensitive information.

Just to note that CVE-2013-1799 was assigned to the incomplete fix
present in 3.6.3 and 3.7.5 (I'm presuming some beta or pre-releases).

Gnome Online Accounts (GOA) 3.4.x, 3.6.x before 3.6.3, and 3.7.x
before 3.7.5, does not properly validate SSL certificates when
creating accounts such as Windows Live and Facebook accounts, which
allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information
such as credentials by sniffing the network.

Gnome Online Accounts (GOA) 3.6.x before 3.6.3 and 3.7.x before
3.7.91, does not properly validate SSL certificates when creating
accounts for providers who use the libsoup library, which allows
man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information such as
credentials by sniffing the network.  NOTE: this issue exists because
of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-0240.

I do not believe that CVE-2013-1799 affects us as we have the fixed
3.6.3 and 3.4.2 updates.  Can someone confirm that this is indeed the
case?
