CVE-2014-3577: org.apache.http.conn.ssl.AbstractVerifier in Apache HttpComponents HttpClient before 4.3.5 and HttpAsyncCli...

org.apache.http.conn.ssl.AbstractVerifier in Apache HttpComponents HttpClient before 4.3.5 and HttpAsyncClient before 4.0.2 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 man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a "CN=" string in a field in the distinguished name (DN) of a certificate, as demonstrated by the "foo,CN=www.apache.org" string in the O field.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let an attacker impersonate an HTTPS server to Java software using affected Apache HttpComponents clients. The business impact is exposure or tampering of traffic that teams expect TLS to protect. The source bundle does not show KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. Java applications or vendor products embedding Apache HttpComponents HttpClient below 4.3.5 or HttpAsyncClient below 4.0.2. Exposure is most relevant for outbound HTTPS connections carrying sensitive data. Prioritize remediation where affected Java clients connect to payment, identity, administrative, or internal service endpoints over untrusted networks. Lower priority may be reasonable for isolated systems with no affected library use. Mitigation focus: Upgrade HttpClient to 4.3.5 or later.; Upgrade HttpAsyncClient to 4.0.2 or later.; Apply Red Hat, Oracle, or other vendor-provided package updates where bundled..
