3. Description:

 

Apache Axis is an implementation of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).

It can be used to build both web service clients and servers.

 

Apache Axis did not verify that the server host name matched the domain

name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field in X.509

certificates. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof an SSL

server if they had a certificate that was valid for any domain name.
