commons-httpclient - security update

• CVE-2012-5783
  and CVE-2012-6153
  Apache Commons HttpClient 3.1 did not 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 an arbitrary valid certificate.
  Thanks to Alberto Fernandez Martinez for the patch.
• CVE-2014-3577
  It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-6153 was incomplete: the code added
  to check that the server hostname matches the domain name in a subject’s
  Common Name (CN) field in X.509 certificates was flawed. A man-in-the-middle
  attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server using a specially
  crafted X.509 certificate. The fix for CVE-2012-6153 was intended to address
  the incomplete patch for CVE-2012-5783. The issue is now completely resolved
  by applying this patch and the one for the previous CVEs
