3. Description:

Thermostat is a monitoring and instrumentation tool for the OpenJDK HotSpot
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) with support for monitoring multiple
JVM instances.

The httpcomponents-client package provides an HTTP agent implementation
that is used by Thermostat to visualize collected data in an HTTP-aware
client application.

It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-5783 was incomplete: the code added
to check that the server hostname matches the domain name in a subject's
Common Name (CN) field in X.509 certificates was flawed.
A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server
using a specially crafted X.509 certificate. (CVE-2012-6153)
