             Summary: Update HttpClient versions to close security vulnerabilities
                 Key: OOZIE-2538
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2538
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
            Reporter: abhishek bafna
            Assignee: abhishek bafna


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.

Also, Commons HttpClient project is now end of life, and is no longer being developed. It has been replaced by the Apache HttpComponents project in its HttpClient and HttpCore modules, which offer better performance and more flexibility.  http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/

Hence, HttpClient version should be updated.
