CVE-2014-3577

org.apache.http.conn.ssl.AbstractVerifier in Apache HttpComponents
HttpClient before 4.3.5 and HttpAsyncClient before 4.0.2 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 “CN=” string
in a field in the distinguished name (DN) of a certificate, as demonstrated
by the “foo,CN=www.apache.org” string in the O field.
