Debian 9906 Published by

A libxmlrpc3-java security update for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS to address an untrusted deserialization in the org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult method of Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library.



Package : libxmlrpc3-java
Version : 3.1.3-7+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2019-17570
Debian Bug : 949089

An untrusted deserialization was found in the
org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult method of Apache
XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library. A malicious XML-RPC server could target
a XML-RPC client causing it to execute arbitrary code.

Clients that expect to get server-side exceptions need to set the
enabledForExceptions property to true in order to process serialized
exception messages again.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
3.1.3-7+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxmlrpc3-java packages.
