What is CVE-2020-9433?

A vulnerability exists in the lua-openssl library where the function openssl_x509_check_email does not properly validate X.509 certificate data. This happens due to an incorrect use of lua_pushboolean for non-boolean return values, leading to potential certificate validation failures and security risks in applications relying on this library.
