[jira] [Updated] (FALCON-1979) Update HttpClient versions to close
security vulnerabilities
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1979?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Balu Vellanki updated FALCON-1979:
----------------------------------
Description:
We learned that
https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-5262 : http/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.java in Apache HttpComponents HttpClient before 4.3.6 ignores the http.socket.timeout configuration setting during an SSL handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (HTTPS call hang) via unspecified vectors.
Hence, HttpClient version should be updated.

https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2012-5783
Apache Commons HttpClient 3.x, as used in Amazon Flexible Payments Service (FPS) merchant Java SDK and other products, does not 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 an arbitrary valid certificate.
Hence, HttpClient version should be updated.
