Summary: Upgrade httpclient dependency
Key: HBASE-15767
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15767
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Ted Yu
Currently commons-httpclient 3.1 is used.
This is already end-of-life by apache.
We should move to 4.3.6 or later.
Details:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12767

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-2012-5783
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.
