misinterpret malformed authority component in request URIs passed to
the library as java.net.URI object and pick the wrong target host for
request execution."

Comment 10 Volkmar W. Pogatzki 2022-01-08 16:52:41 UTC
This bug report is assigned to the wrong package. 

In https://archive.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/ there are
* commons-httpclient
* httpclient

The CVE mentioned in #c0 is about 'httpclient', not about the other.
dev-java/commons-httpclient-3.1:3 is not affected.
Comment 11 Volkmar W. Pogatzki 2022-01-08 17:18:45 UTC
Adjusting summary.
Comment 12 NATTkA bot gentoo-dev 2022-02-09 01:29:21 UTC
Keywords are not fully specified and arches are not CC-ed for the following packages:
