Apache Struts vulnerable to memory exhaustion
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.apache.struts:struts2-core | < 2.5.31 | 2.5.31 |
| Maven | org.apache.struts:struts2-core | >= 6.0.0, < 6.1.2.1 | 6.1.2.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Denial of service via out of memory (OOM) owing to not properly checking of list bounds. When a Multipart request has non-file normal form fields, Struts used to bring them into memory as Strings without checking their sizes. This could lead to OOM if developer has set struts.multipart.maxSize to a value equal or greater than the available memory.
Upgrade to Struts 2.5.31 or 6.1.2.1 or greater.
