Média
| Vetor | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Apache Axis versions 1.4 and earlier
Description
The issue arises from the getCN function not properly verifying that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a certificate with a subject that specifies a common name in a field that is not the CN field. The problem exists due to an incomplete fix for a previous issue.
Recommendations
For Apache Axis versions 1.4 and earlier, consider updating to a version that properly verifies the server hostname against the X.509 certificate's Common Name or subjectAltName field to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of SSL connections to trusted servers with properly validated certificates.
