[jira] [Created] (AXIS-2905) Insecure certificate validation
CVE-2014-3596
David Jorm created AXIS-2905:
--------------------------------
Summary: Insecure certificate validation CVE-2014-3596
Key: AXIS-2905
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2905
Project: Axis
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.4
Reporter: David Jorm
It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-5784 was incomplete. The code added to check that the server hostname matches the domain name in the subject's CN field was flawed. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack where the attacker can spoof a valid certificate using a specially crafted subject.
