Descriptions

The default configuration of Apache Maven 3.0.4, when using Maven Wagon 2.1, disables SSL certificate checks, which allows remote attackers to spoof servers via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

La configuración por defecto de Apache Maven v3.0.4, cuando se usa Maven Wagon v2.1 deshabilita los controles de certificado SSL, lo que permite a atacantes remotos suplantar a servidoresa través de ataques Man-in-the-middle (MITM).

Jenkins is a continuous integration server. It was found that all SSL certificate checking was disabled by default in the Apache Maven Wagon plug-in of Jenkins. This would make it easy for an attacker to perform man-in-the-middle attacks. Users of Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 1.1.3 are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects this issue.
