What is CVE-2020-9432?

The lua_openssl library has a flaw in the openssl_x509_check_host function that improperly handles X.509 certificate validation. This occurs due to the function's reliance on lua_pushboolean for certain return values that are not strictly boolean. As a result, this vulnerability may allow attackers to bypass proper certificate validation checks.
