CVE-2012-5784 – axis: missing connection hostname check against X.509 certificate name

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2012-5784

Apache Axis 1.4 and earlier, as used in PayPal Payments Pro, PayPal Mass Pay, PayPal Transactional Information SOAP, the Java Message Service implementation in Apache ActiveMQ, and other products, 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. Apache Axis v1.4 y versiones anteriores, tal y como se utiliza en los pagos de PayPal Pro, PPayPal Mass Pay, PayPal Transactional Information SOAP, la implementación de Java Message Service en Apache ActiveMQ, y otros productos, no comprueba si el nombre del servidor coincide con un nombre de dominio en el Nombre Común (CN) del sujeto o el campo subjectAltName del certificado X.509, lo que permite falsificar servidores SSL a atacantes "man-in-the-middle" mediante un certificado válido de su elección. Apache Axis did not verify that the server host name matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field in X.509 certificates. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof an SSL server if they had a certificate that was valid for any domain name. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-06/msg00007.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-06/msg00022.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-0269.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-0683.html http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0037.html http://secunia.com/advisories/51219 http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~shmat/shmat_ccs12.pdf http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/56408 https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/79829 ht • CWE-20: Improper Input Validation •
