Description

**Issue Overview:** Apache Commons HttpClient 3.x, as used in Amazon Flexible Payments Service (FPS) merchant Java SDK and other products, does not 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 an arbitrary valid certificate. It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-6153 was incomplete: the code added to check that the server hostname matches the domain name in a subject's Common Name (CN) field in X.509 certificates was flawed. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server using a specially crafted X.509 certificate. It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-5783 was incomplete: the code added to check that the server host name matches the domain name in a subject's Common Name (CN) field in X.509 certificates was flawed. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server using a specially crafted X.509 certificate. **Affected Packages:** jakarta-commons-httpclient **Issue Correction:** Run _yum update jakarta-commons-httpclient_ to update your system. **New Packages:** noarch:     jakarta-commons-httpclient-manual-3.1-15.8.amzn1.noarch     jakarta-commons-httpclient-demo-3.1-15.8.amzn1.noarch     jakarta-commons-httpclient-javadoc-3.1-15.8.amzn1.noarch     jakarta-commons-httpclient-3.1-15.8.amzn1.noarch src:     jakarta-commons-httpclient-3.1-15.8.amzn1.src ### Additional References Red Hat: [CVE-2012-5783](<https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2012-5783>), [CVE-2012-6153](<https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2012-6153>), [CVE-2014-3577](<https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2014-3577>) Mitre: [CVE-2012-5783](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2012-5783>), [CVE-2012-6153](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2012-6153>), [CVE-2014-3577](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2014-3577>)
