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/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.java in Apache HttpComponents HttpClient before 4.3.6 ignores the http.socket.timeout configuration setting during an SSL handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (HTTPS call hang) via unspecified vectors.
