Debian DLA-2078-1 : libxmlrpc3-java security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 133362

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An untrusted deserialization was found in the org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult method of Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library. A malicious XML-RPC server could target a XML-RPC client causing it to execute arbitrary code.

Clients that expect to get server-side exceptions need to set the enabledForExceptions property to true in order to process serialized exception messages again.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.3-7+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxmlrpc3-java packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
