CVE-2014-3604 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Certificates.java in Not Yet Commons SSL before 0.3.15 does not properly verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
