Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Platform is a platform for Java applications,
which integrates the JBoss Web Server with JBoss Hibernate and JBoss Seam.

It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-5783 was incomplete: the code added
to check that the server host name matches the domain name in a subject's
Common Name (CN) field in X.509 certificates was flawed.
A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server
using a specially crafted X.509 certificate. (CVE-2012-6153)
