NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream httpcomponents-client package and not the httpcomponents-client package as distributed by Ubuntu.

http/impl/client/HttpClientBuilder.java in Apache HttpClient 4.3.x before 4.3.1 does not ensure that X509HostnameVerifier is not null, which allows attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors involving hostname verification.
