3. Description:

 

Thermostat is a monitoring and instrumentation tool for the OpenJDK HotSpot

Java Virtual Machine (JVM) with support for monitoring multiple

JVM instances.

 

The httpcomponents-client package provides an HTTP agent implementation

that is used by Thermostat to visualize collected data in an HTTP-aware

client application.

 

It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-5783 was incomplete: the code added

to check that the server hostname 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)
