Debian DSA-2827-1 : libcommons-fileupload-java - arbitrary file upload via deserialization

high Nessus Plugin ID 71618

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that Apache Commons FileUpload, a package to make it easy to add robust, high-performance, file upload capability to servlets and web applications, incorrectly handled file names with NULL bytes in serialized instances. A remote attacker able to supply a serialized instance of the DiskFileItem class, which will be deserialized on a server, could use this flaw to write arbitrary content to any location on the server that is accessible to the user running the application server process.

Solution

Upgrade the libcommons-fileupload-java packages.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.2-1+deb6u1.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.2-1+deb7u1.
