    CVE-2012-5785

    Summary: Apache Axis2 has Improper Input Validation

    Details: Apache Axis2/Java 1.7.9 and earlier does not 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 an arbitrary valid certificate.
