Descriptions
The PKIX trust engines in Shibboleth Identity Provider before 2.4.4 and OpenSAML Java (OpenSAML-J) before 2.6.5 trust candidate X.509 credentials when no trusted names are available for the entityID, which allows remote attackers to impersonate an entity via a certificate issued by a shibmd:KeyAuthority trust anchor.
Los motores de confianza PKIX en Shibboleth Identity Provider anterior a 2.4.4 y OpenSAML Java (OpenSAML-J) anterior a 2.6.5 confían en los certificados X.509 de candidatos cuando nombres no confiables están disponibles para el identificador de entidad, lo que permite a atacantes remotos suplantar una entidad a través de un certificado emitido por una ancla de confianza shibmd:KeyAuthority.
It was found that PKIX trust components allowed an X.509 credential to be trusted if no trusted names were available for the entityID. An attacker could use a certificate issued by a shibmd:KeyAuthority trust anchor to impersonate an entity within the scope of that keyAuthority.
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.
