Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mumble

Upon to connecting to a server which has a reasonable "Common Name" set
using an "incorrect" hostname, mumble dies.

To reproduce, set up a mumble-server to use a certificate with the
servers host as the "Common Name" and start it with this. If the key is
password-protected, you should be asked for your passphrase upon
starting it, if it is not stored in an unencrypted way.

If you now connect to that server using the hostname as defined in the
"Common Name" of the SSL certificate, the connection should work fine.
As soon as you connect to this server using a different address (e. g.
localhost instead of mumble.example.org) than this, the mumble client
crashes with SIGSEGV.

The behaviour I would have expected would be a dialoge popping up,
asking whether to connect even though the certificate's hostname does
not match the actual host.
