[SECURITY] [DLA 169-1] axis security update

Package : axis
Version : 1.4-12+deb6u1
CVE ID : CVE-2012-5784 CVE-2014-3596
Debian Bug : 762444

A vulnerability was fixed in axis, a SOAP implementation in Java:

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.

Thanks to Markus Koschany for providing the fixed package and David Jorm
and Arun Neelicattu (Red Hat Product Security) for providing the patch.
