[SECURITY] [DLA 222-1] commons-httpclient security update

Description

Package : commons-httpclient Version : 3.1-9+deb6u1 CVE ID : CVE-2012-5783 CVE-2012-6153 CVE-2014-3577 CVE-2012-5783 and CVE-2012-6153 Apache Commons HttpClient 3.1 did 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. Thanks to Alberto Fernandez Martinez for the patch. CVE-2014-3577 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. The fix for CVE-2012-6153 was intended to address the incomplete patch for CVE-2012-5783. The issue is now completely resolved by applying this patch and the one for the previous CVEs This upload was prepared by Markus Koschany.
