Summary
Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy, designed for cloud-native applications. The default_validator.cc implementation used to implement the default certificate validation routines has a "type confusion" bug when processing subjectAltNames. This processing allows, for example, an rfc822Name or uniformResourceIndicator to be authenticated as a domain name. This confusion allows for the bypassing of nameConstraints, as processed by the underlying OpenSSL/BoringSSL implementation, exposing the possibility of impersonation of arbitrary servers. As a result Envoy will trust upstream certificates that should not be trusted.

Este procesamiento permite, por ejemplo, que un rfc822Name o uniformResourceIndicator sea autenticado como un nombre de dominio. Esta confusi\u00f3n permite omitir nameConstraints, tal y como lo procesa la implementaci\u00f3n subyacente de OpenSSL/BoringSSL, exponiendo la posibilidad de suplantaci\u00f3n de servidores arbitrarios. Como resultado, Envoy confiar\u00e1 en certificados de origen que no deber\u00edan ser confiables"
