Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer in Apache Sling
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.api | < 2.4.0 | 2.4.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
The deepGetOrCreateNode function in impl/operations/AbstractCreateOperation.java in org.apache.sling.servlets.post.bundle 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 in Apache Sling does not properly handle a NULL value that returned when the session does not have permissions to the root node, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via unspecified vectors.
