vulnerabilities
Key: FALCON-1979
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1979
Project: Falcon
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Balu Vellanki
Assignee: Balu Vellanki
Fix For: 0.10
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.
https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2012-6153
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.
