Subject: Security ERRATA Moderate: axis on SL6.x (noarch)
MIME-Version: 1.0

Synopsis: Moderate: axis security update
Issue Date: 2013-02-19
CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-5784
--

Apache Axis did not verify that the server hostname matched the domain
name in the subject's Common Name (CN) 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. (CVE-2012-5784)

Applications using Apache Axis must be restarted for this update to take
effect.
