openSUSE Leap 15.1: 2020:1873-1 Important: MITM and DoS Issues

This update for apache-commons-httpclient fixes the following issues:

- http/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.java ignores the

http.socket.timeout configuration setting during an SSL handshake, which

allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (HTTPS call hang)

via unspecified vectors. [bsc#945190, CVE-2015-5262]

- org.apache.http.conn.ssl.AbstractVerifier does not properly 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 MITM

attackers to spoof SSL servers via a "CN=" string in a field in the

distinguished name (DN)

of a certificate. [bsc#1178171, CVE-2014-3577]
