-----------------------------------
Is this still an issue with the latest Apache Axis2 1.7.2 version?
> 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
> Attachments: CVE-2014-3596.patch
>
>
> 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.
