Title:RHSA-2013:0269: axis security update (Moderate)
Description:Apache Axis is an implementation of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). It can be used to build both web service clients and servers.

  • 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)

    All users of axis are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. Applications using Apache Axis must be restarted for this update to take effect.
