"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2014-519:01 advisory.

    Description :
    The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is perhaps the most significant
    protocol used on the Internet today. Web services, network-enabled
    appliances and the growth of network computing continue to expand the
    role of the HTTP protocol beyond user-driven web browsers, and increase
    the number of applications that may require HTTP support.
    Although the java.net package provides basic support for accessing
    resources via HTTP, it doesn't provide the full flexibility or
    functionality needed by many applications. The Jakarta Commons HTTP
    Client component seeks to fill this void by providing an efficient,
    up-to-date, and feature-rich package implementing the client side of the
    most recent HTTP standards and recommendations.
    Designed for extension while providing robust support for the base HTTP
    protocol, the HTTP Client component may be of interest to anyone
    building HTTP-aware client applications such as web browsers, web
    service clients, or systems that leverage or extend the HTTP protocol
    for distributed communication.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2014-3577
    org.apache.http.conn.ssl.AbstractVerifier in Apache HttpComponents HttpClient
    before 4.3.5 and HttpAsyncClient before 4.0.2 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 CN= string in a field in the
    distinguished name (DN) of a certificate, as demonstrated by the
    foo,CN=www.apache.org string in the O field.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
