From ${URL} :

It was discovered that Apache HttpClient did not apply a configured
connection or read timeout during the initial handshake of an HTTPS
connection.  As a result, HTTPS connection could get stuck, causing
a denial of service if multiple such connections accumulate.

Upstream patch:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpcomponents/httpclient/branches/4.3.x/httpclient/src/main/java/org/apache/http/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.java?r1=1560975&r2=1626784



@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

Same conclusion as far as this ticket is concerned. This CVE only affects httpclient-core 4.3.3 and below.

@Security

You can close this bug.
