Synopsis: Important: axis security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:1193-1
Issue Date: 2014-09-15

--

It was discovered that Axis incorrectly extracted the host name from an
X.509 certificate subject's Common Name (CN) field. A man-in-the-middle
attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server using a specially
crafted X.509 certificate. (CVE-2014-3596)

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