apply cleanly if the CVE-2012-5784 patch has already been applied.

> Key: AXIS-2905
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2905
> Project: Axis
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: David Jorm
> Attachments: CVE-2014-3596.patch
> 
> 
> It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-5784 was incomplete. The code added to check \
> that the server hostname matches the domain name in the subject's CN field was \
> flawed. This can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack where the \
> attacker can spoof a valid certificate using a specially crafted subject. For more \
> details, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2014-3596
