[DLA 169-1] axis security update

Package : axis
Version : 1.4-12+deb6u1
CVE ID : CVE-2012-5784 CVE-2014-3596
Debian Bug : 762444

A vulnerability was fixed in axis, a SOAP implementation in Java:

The getCN function in Apache Axis 1.4 and earlier does not properly 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 a certificate with a
subject that specifies a common name in a field that is not the CN field.

Thanks to Markus Koschany for providing the fixed package and David Jorm
and Arun Neelicattu (Red Hat Product Security) for providing the patch.


[DSA 3177-1] mod-gnutls security update

Package : mod-gnutls
CVE ID : CVE-2015-2091
Debian Bug : 578663

Thomas Klute discovered that in mod-gnutls, an Apache module providing
SSL and TLS encryption with GnuTLS, a bug caused the server's client
verify mode not to be considered at all, in case the directory's
configuration was unset. Clients with invalid certificates were then
able to leverage this flaw in order to get access to that directory.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.5.10-1.1+deb7u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.6-1.3.

We recommend that you upgrade your mod-gnutls packages.
