Descriptions

The ServerTrustManager component in the Ignite Realtime Smack XMPP API before 4.0.0-rc1 does not verify basicConstraints and nameConstraints in X.509 certificate chains from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate chain.

El componente ServerTrustManager en la API Ignite Realtime Smack XMPP anterior a 4.0.0-rc1 no verifica las extensiones basicConstraints y nameConstraints en cadenas de certificados X.509 de servidores SSL, lo que permite a un atacante ealizar un ataque man-in-the-middle, falsificar servidores y obtener información sensible a través de una cadena de certificados manipulados.

It was found that the ServerTrustManager in the Smack XMPP API did not verify basicConstraints and nameConstraints in X.509 certificate chains. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information.

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.
