axis: SSL hostname verification bypass
| Package(s): | axis |
CVE #(s): | CVE-2014-3596
|
| Created: | September 15, 2014 |
Updated: | December 29, 2014 |
| Description: |
From the CVE entry:
The getCN function in Apache Axis 1.4 and earlier does not properly verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a certificate with a subject that specifies a common name in a field that is not the CN field. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-5784. |
