Apache Axis 1.4 and earlier, as used in PayPal Payments Pro, PayPal Mass
Pay, PayPal Transactional Information SOAP, the Java Message Service
implementation in Apache ActiveMQ, and other products, does not verify that
the server hostname matches a domain name in the subjectβs 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.
