axis - security update

A vulnerability was fixed in axis, a SOAP implementation in Java:

The getCN function in Apache Axis 1.4 and earlier 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.

Thanks to Markus Koschany for providing the fixed package and David Jorm
and Arun Neelicattu (Red Hat Product Security) for providing the patch.

For Debian 6 Squeeze, these issues have been fixed in axis version 1.4-12+deb6u1
