CVE-2014-3596 severity moderate: SUSE including 11 source package names (axis-1.4-11.65, axis-1.4-150200.13.6.4, …), 22 product×package rows across 20 product lines (SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing 12 SP5, SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Basesystem 15, … (20 product lines)): Fixed 22.
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. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-5784.
