| Description |
| It is possible to configure Apache CXF to use the com.sun.net.ssl
implementation via 'System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs",
"com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");'. When this system property
is set, CXF uses some reflection to try to make the HostnameVerifier
work with the old com.sun.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier interface. However,
the default HostnameVerifier implementation in CXF does not implement
the method in this interface, and an exception is thrown. However, in
Apache CXF prior to 3.2.5 and 3.1.16 the exception is caught in the
reflection code and not properly propagated. What this means is that
if you are using the com.sun.net.ssl stack with CXF, an error with TLS
hostname verification will not be thrown, leaving a CXF client subject
to man-in-the-middle attacks.
