Debian DSA-3611-1 : libcommons-fileupload-java - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 91907

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The TERASOLUNA Framework Development Team discovered a denial of service vulnerability in Apache Commons FileUpload, a package to make it easy to add robust, high-performance, file upload capability to servlets and web applications. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw by sending file upload requests that cause the HTTP server using the Apache Commons Fileupload library to become unresponsive, preventing the server from servicing other requests.

Solution

Upgrade the libcommons-fileupload-java packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.1-1+deb8u1.
