Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2012-6153
DESCRIPTION: Apache HttpComponents could allow a remote attacker to conduct
spoofing attacks, caused by an incomplete fix related to the failure to verify
that the server hostname matches a domain name in the Subject's Common Name
(CN) or SubjectAltName field of certificates. By persuading a victim to visit
a Web site containing a specially-crafted certificate, an attacker could
exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to spoof an SSL
server.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/95328 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
