Azure IoT SDK Spoofing Vulnerability

A spoofing vulnerability exists for the C# and Java SDKs in the Azure IoT Device Provisioning AMQP Transport library which improperly validates certificates over the AMQP protocol. The same vulnerability exists for the C SDK in the Azure IoT Device library running on Windows devices. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could impersonate a server used during the provisioning process. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack on the network that provisioning was taking place. This security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the AMQP Transport library validates certificates.
