[SECURITY] [DLA 352-1] libcommons-collections3-java security update

[news 28]

Package : libcommons-collections3-java

Version : 3.2.1-4+deb6u1

 

The Apache commons collection suffered from security issues, making

applications to accept serialized objects from untrusted sources. Remote

attackers might take advantage of these issues to execute arbitrary Java

functions and even inject manipulated bytecode.

 

This release of libcommons-collection3-java prevents these issues by disabling

the deserialization of the functors classes, unless the system property

org.apache.commons.collections.enableUnsafeSerialization is set to 'true'.

Classes considered unsafe are: CloneTransformer, ForClosure,

InstantiateFactory, InstantiateTransformer, InvokerTransformer,

PrototypeCloneFactory, PrototypeSerializationFactory and WhileClosure.

 

For Debian 6 "Squeeze", these problems have been fixed in

libcommons-collections3-java version 3.2.1-4+deb6u1. We recommend you to

upgrade your libcommons-collections3-java packages.
