Summary
Apache HttpComponents vulnerabilities while verifying certificates was
addressed by IBM InfoSphere Information Server.
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.
