Descriptions

The Ignite Realtime Smack XMPP API 4.x before 4.0.2, and 3.x and 2.x when a custom SSLContext is used, 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.

La API Ignite Realtime Smack XMPP 4.x anterior a 4.0.2, y 3.x y 2.x cuando se utiliza un SSLContext personalizado, no verifica que el nombre del servidor coincide con un nombre de dominio en el campo de asunto Common Name (CN) o subjectAltName del certificado X.509, lo que permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle suplantar los servidores SSL a través de un certificado válido arbitrario.

It was found that SSLSocket in Smack did not perform hostname verification. An attacker could redirect traffic between an application and an XMPP server by providing a valid certificate for a domain under the attacker's control.

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.
