------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3622-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany October 17, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Package : axis Version : 1.4-28+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2023-40743 Debian Bug : 1051288

Letian Yuan discovered a flaw in Apache Axis 1.x, a SOAP implementation written in Java. It may not have been obvious that looking up a service through ServiceFactory.getService allows potentially dangerous lookup mechanisms such as LDAP. When passing untrusted input to this API method, this could expose the application to DoS, SSRF and even attacks leading to remote code execution.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.4-28+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your axis packages.

For the detailed security status of axis please refer to its security tracker page at:
