Description

Apache Axis2/Java 1.6.2 and earlier 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.

Affected configurations

• apache axis2 (<= 1.6.2) • apache axis2 1.5.1 • apache axis2 1.5.2 • apache axis2 1.5.3 • apache axis2 1.5.4 • apache axis2 1.5.5 • apache axis2 1.5.6 • apache axis2 1.6 • apache axis2 1.6.1
