Sorry for the error.

You are correct, the Synopsis line should have read:

Synopsis:          Important: jakarta-commons-httpclient security update

Thank you for the report.
In addition, the subject line is missing the "Security ERRATA" that
usually precedes the severity ... is that a long-term change or just
an oversight?

(this may sound like I am picking on minor changes, but we have
scripts that recognize and ingest the advisories, so we are sensitive
to any changes -- I am happy to change our scripts if needed, but I
just want to make sure it *is* needed)

thanks,

jake

This advisory looks different than usual, and in fact looks wrong
(the subject is about jakarta-commons-httpclient but the synopsis
mentions thunderbird ...

is this some new format for advisories?  or is this just a mistake
that will be corrected soon?

thanks!

It was discovered that the HTTPClient incorrectly extracted host
name from an X.509 certificate subject's Common Name (CN) field. A
man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL
server using a specially crafted X.509 certificate. (CVE-2014-3577)
