[SingCERT] Microsoft Windows Includes Some Invalid TURKTRUST Certificates

[ Summary ]

A vulnerability was reported in Microsoft Windows. A remote user may be able to spoof sites.

The operating system includes some invalid certificates. The vulnerability is due to the invalid certificates and not the operating system itself.

TURKTRUST Inc. incorrectly created two subsidiary certificate authorities (CAs) ('*.EGO.GOV.TR' and 'e-islem.kktcmerkezbankasi.org') as end-entity certificates and without CRL or OCSP extensions. The '*.EGO.GOV.TR' subsidiary CA was then used to issue a fraudulent digital certificate for '*.google.com'.

A fraudulent digital certificate has been actively used in attacks against several Google web domains.

Windows Phone 8 is also affected.
