CVE-2012-5781: Input Validation
First published: Sun Nov 04 2012(Updated: )
Amazon Elastic Load Balancing API Tools does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate, related to overriding the default JDK X509TrustManager.
