There are multiple vulnerabilities in Apache HttpComponents and HttpCommons libraries which affect WebSphere Application Server. This has been addressed.
CVEID:CVE-2015-5262
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Commons is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to apply a configured connection during the initial handshake of an HTTPS connection by the HttpClient component. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to accumulate multiple connections and exhaust all available resources.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/106932 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID:CVE-2014-3577
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache HttpComponents could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by the failure to verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the Subject’s Common Name (CN) or SubjectAltName field of certificates. By persuading a victim to visit a Web site containing a specially-crafted certificate, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to spoof an SSL server.
CVSS Base score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/95327 for the current score.
