Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Red Hat JBoss 6.3.0 (Application Server Software). This issue affects an unknown code block of the component Certificate Validation Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a certificate host validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-297. The product communicates with a host that provides a certificate, but the product does not properly ensure that the certificate is actually associated with that host. Impacted is confidentiality, and integrity.

The weakness was disclosed 09/04/2014 by Florian Weimer with Red Hat Security Response Team as RHSA-2014:1163 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at rhn.redhat.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2014-3577 since 05/14/2014. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1587.003 for this issue. The advisory points out:

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-5783 was incomplete: the code added to check that the server host name matches the domain name in a subject's Common Name (CN) field in X.509 certificates was flawed. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server using a specially crafted X.509 certificate. (CVE-2012-6153) It was discovered that the HttpClient incorrectly extracted 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-2014-3577)

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 77515 (Oracle Linux 7 : httpcomponents-client (ELSA-2014-1146)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 350319 (Amazon Linux Security Advisory for jakarta-commons-httpclient: ALAS-2014-410).

Applying the patch 1129074 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at access.redhat.com. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (95327), Tenable (77515), SecurityFocus (BID 69258†), OSVDB (110143†) and Secunia (SA60713†). rhn.redhat.com is providing further details. The entries VDB-70806 and VDB-121642 are pretty similar. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
