+	  <p>During certificate verification, OpenSSL (starting from version
+	    1.0.1n and 1.0.2b) will attempt to find an alternative certificate
+	    chain if the first attempt to build such a chain fails. An error
+	    in the implementation of this logic can mean that an attacker could
+	    cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be bypassed,
+	    such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf certificate
+	    to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.</p>
