CVE-2013-7397

Async Http Client (también conocido como AHC o async-http-client) anterior a 1.9.0 salta la verificación los certificados X.509 a no ser que tanto una localización keyStore y una localización trustStore estén configuradas explícitamente, lo que permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle falsificar servidores HTTPS mediante la presentación de un certificado arbitrario durante el uso de una configuración AHC típica, tal y como fue demostrado por una configuración que no envía certificados de cliente.

It was found that async-http-client would disable SSL/TLS certificate verification under certain conditions, for example if HTTPS communication also used client certificates. A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacker could use this flaw to spoof a valid certificate.

Red Hat JBoss Fuse, based on Apache ServiceMix, provides a small-footprint, flexible, open source enterprise service bus and integration platform. The following security fixes are addressed in this release: It was found that async-http-client would disable SSL/TLS certificate verification under certain conditions, for example if HTTPS communication also used client certificates. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof a valid certificate. It was found that async-http-client did not verify that the server hostname matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name 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.
