Improper Certificate Validation in vt-ldap
CVE-2014-3607 · GHSA-273v-g3x4-r3rc
- Affected
- Maven edu.vt.middleware:vt-ldap < 3.3.8
- Fixed in
- 3.3.8· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- DefaultHostnameVerifier in Ldaptive (formerly vt-ldap) 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.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.3.8 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
