What is CVE-2014-3596?

The getCN function in Apache Axis 1.4 and earlier versions fails to validate that the server hostname corresponds with the domain specified in the X.509 certificate's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName fields. This vulnerability introduces a risk where man-in-the-middle attackers can exploit this oversight to spoof SSL servers, allowing them to serve malicious content while appearing legitimate. The issue persists due to an incomplete resolution of a related vulnerability previously identified.
