Debian DLA-629-1 : jackrabbit security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 93569

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Lukas Reschke discovered that Apache Jackrabbit, a content repository implementation for Java, was vulnerable to Cross-Site-Request-Forgery in Jackrabbit's webdav module.

The CSRF content-type check for POST requests did not handle missing Content-Type header fields, nor variations in field values with respect to upper/lower case or optional parameters. This could be exploited to create a resource via CSRF.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.3.6-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your jackrabbit 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 libjackrabbit-java package.
