Insight
Insight
Apache Axis is an implementation of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). It can be used to build both web service clients and servers. 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) For additional information on this flaw, refer to the Knowledgebase article in the References section. This issue was discovered by David Jorm and Arun Neelicattu of Red Hat Product Security. All axis users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Applications using Apache Axis must be restarted for this update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at the linked references. 5.
