CVE-2012-6153

Description

http/conn/ssl/AbstractVerifier.java in Apache Commons HttpClient before 4.2.3 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. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-5783. #### Bugs * <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758086> * <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2012-6153> #### Notes Author| Note ---|--- [mdeslaur](<https://launchpad.net/~mdeslaur>) | debian's 06_fix_CVE-2012-5783.patch already contains the fix for CVE-2012-6153
