CVE-2013-7397

Async Http Client (AHC) prior to 1.9.0 fails to verify X.509 certificates unless both a keystore and a truststore are explicitly configured, enabling MITM via spoofed certificates in typical configurations. Affected component is the AHC Java library; exploitation would involve HTTPS usage with mi...

CVE-2013-7398

CVE-2013-7398 affects Async Http Client (async-http-client) before 1.9.0, where hostname verification is not required during X.509 certificate verification. This allows MITM attackers to spoof HTTPS servers with arbitrary valid certificates. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.9.0 or newer (vendor advisorie...

MGASA-2015-0212 Updated async-http-client packages fix security vulnerabilities

Updated async-http-client packages fix security vulnerabilities: It was found that async-http-client would disable SSL/TLS certificate verification under certain conditions, for example if HTTPS communication also uses client certificates. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle MITM attack...

UBUNTU-CVE-2015-2706

Race condition in the AsyncPaintWaitEvent::AsyncPaintWaitEvent function in Mozilla Firefox before 37.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service use-after-free via a crafted plugin that does not properly complete initialization...

async-http-client: missing hostname verification for SSL certificates

It was found that async-http-client did not verify that the server hostname matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name CN or subjectAltName field in X.509 certificates. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof an SSL server if they had a certificate that was valid for any...

Updated socat packages fix CVE-2015-1379

Updated socat package fixes security vulnerability: In socat before 2.0.0-b8, signal handler implementations are not async-signal-safe and can cause crash or freeze of socat processes. Mostly this issue occurs when socat is in listening mode with fork option and a couple of child processes...

That's so fetch!

There's been some confusion around the new fetch API recently. Let's clear things up. The first thing you'll notice about fetch is it's a massive improvement on XMLHttpRequest in terms of API design. Here's how to get some JSON using XHR: var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest; xhr.open'GET', url;...

ES7 async functions

They're brilliant. They're brilliant and I want laws changed so I can marry them. Update: This feature is now shipping in browsers. I've written a more up-to-date and in-depth guide. Async with promises In the HTML5Rocks article on promises, the final example show how you'd load some JSON data fo...
