- http/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.java 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. [bsc#945190, CVE-2015-5262]
- org.apache.http.conn.ssl.AbstractVerifier 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 MITM
attackers to spoof SSL servers via a 'CN=' string in a field in the
distinguished name (DN)
of a certificate. [bsc#1178171, CVE-2014-3577]
