Hello,

I am currently trying to verify for the Debian distribution that
versions of httpclient are or are not affected by the following security
vulnerabilities:

CVE-2014-3577
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-3577

CVE-2012-6153
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-6153

I am aware that HttpClient <= 3.1 is EOL now but there are still
packages in the archive that depend on exactly this version in Debian.
We intend to apply a patch from RedHat / Fedora [1] that appears to
address CVE-2014-3577. However we would like to ensure that it really
resolves the issue once and for all.

How can I test that this patch actually addresses the vulnerability? Are
there any test cases available?

Thanks

Markus
