The getCN function in Apache Axis 1.4 and earlier 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-2012-5784.
