IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.0.x <= 8.0.0.15 / 8.5.x < 8.5.5.20 / 9.0.x < 9.0.5.8 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

The version of WebSphere Application Server installed on the remote host is 8.0.x through 8.0.0.15, 8.5.x prior to 8.5.5.20, or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.5.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 6453091 advisory, including the following: - http/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.java in Apache HttpComponents HttpClient before 4.3.6 ignores the http.socket.timeout configuration setting during an SSL handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (HTTPS call hang) via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2015-5262) - 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. (CVE-2014-3577) - http/conn/ssl/AbstractVerifier.java in Apache Commons HttpClient before 4.2.3 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. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-5783. (CVE-2012-6153) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
