CVE request: sSMTP doesn't validate server certificates

[Laurent Bigonville <bigon () debian org>]

Hi,

It seems that sSMTP is not checking the server certificate when
connecting. This is quite annoying as one of the main ssmtp purpose is
to be used on satellite systems that could be connected to untrusted
networks.

This has been reported (with a proposed patch) to the Debian BTS (see
[0])

Could you please allocate a CVE number for this?

Cheers
