CVE-2014-6024
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Flurry library before 3.4.0 for Android does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Flurry analytics SDK for Android versions prior to 3.4.0 fails to validate X.509 certificates during SSL/TLS connections, allowing man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept communications by presenting fraudulent certificates and capture sensitive data transmitted to Flurry servers.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate Flurry SDK in the Android applicationSearch the app's lib folder, libs folder, or build.gradle dependencies for 'flurry' or 'FlurryAgent' references. If using ProGuard, check the mapping for Flurry classes.Affected if Flurry SDK is present in the application codebase or dependencies
-
Identify the Flurry SDK versionCheck the build.gradle dependency version (e.g., compile 'com.flurry:flurry-analytics:3.3.0'), the flurry JAR file name, or the POM file if using Maven. Also check the release notes or SDK manifest.Affected if The installed version is 3.3.0, 3.3.2, or 3.3.4 exactly
-
Verify the app uses Flurry Analytics functionalitySearch the source code for Flurry initialization calls such as FlurryAgent.init(), FlurryAgent.initWithKey(), or FlurryAgent.onStartSession(). Also check for event logging calls like FlurryAgent.logEvent().Affected if Flurry Analytics is initialized and event logging or session tracking is performed, causing data to be transmitted to Flurry servers over SSL/TLS
The application is affected if it includes Flurry Analytics SDK version 3.3.0, 3.3.2, or 3.3.4 and uses the analytics functionality to send data to Flurry servers, as the SSL/TLS certificate validation is not performed in these versions.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade the Flurry Android SDK to version 3.4.0 or later which implements proper X.509 certificate chain validation; verify no other third-party libraries in the application have similar SSL validation issues.
