Steps to Reproduce:

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA4TOO, MGA3TOO

Comment 1 Sander Lepik 2014-11-29 16:04:26 CET
Dropped from cauldron.

Whiteboard: MGA4TOO, MGA3TOO => (none)
Version: Cauldron => 4
CC: (none) => mageia

Comment 2 David Walser 2014-12-24 22:27:22 CET
Probably on its way back to Cauldron, but I added the upstream patch in Mageia 4 and Cauldron SVN (replacing the CVE-2012-5784 patch that it supercedes).  Fedora has yet to address this.
Comment 3 David Walser 2014-12-24 23:43:28 CET
Patched package uploaded for Mageia 4.

Verifying that the updated packages install cleanly is sufficient for testing this update.

Advisory:
========================

Updated axis packages fixes security vulnerability:

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).
