Description Murray McAllister 2014-05-01 02:30:00 EDT

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2014-0363 to
the following vulnerability:

Name: CVE-2014-0363
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0363
Assigned: 20131205
Reference: http://community.igniterealtime.org/blogs/ignite/2014/04/17/asmack-400-rc1-has-been-released
Reference: http://issues.igniterealtime.org/browse/SMACK-410
Reference: CERT-VN:VU#489228
Reference: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/489228

The ServerTrustManager component in the Ignite Realtime Smack XMPP API
before 4.0.0-rc1 does not verify basicConstraints and nameConstraints
in X.509 certificate chains from SSL servers, which allows
man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive
information via a crafted certificate chain.

The man-in-the-middle attacker requires a certificate that is valid for any domain name.

Upstream patch:  http://fisheye.igniterealtime.org/changelog/smackgit?cs=93030c218c62cf0a0a8ea48746db1452fa34033c
