PARTIAL Summary
When an application with unsupported Codehaus versions of Groovy from 1.7.0 to 2.4.3, Apache Groovy 2.4.4 to 2.4.7 on classpath uses standard Java serialization mechanisms, e.g. to communicate between servers or to store local data, it was possible for an attacker to bake a special serialized object that will execute code directly when deserialized. All applications which rely on serialization and do not isolate the code which deserializes objects were subject to this vulnerability.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. Groovy is an agile and dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine, built upon Java with features inspired by languages like Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk. It seamlessly integrates with all existing Java objects and libraries and compiles straight to Java bytecode so you can use it anywhere you can use Java. Security Fix(es) : * It was found that a flaw in Apache groovy library allows remote code execution wherever deserialization occurs in the application. It is possible for an attacker to craft a special serialized object that will execute code directly when deserialized. All applications which rely on serialization and do not isolate the code which deserializes objects are subject to this vulnerability.

All applications which rely on serialization and do not isolate the code which deserializes objects are subject to this vulnerability. This is similar to CVE-2015-3253 but this exploit involves extra wrapping of objects and catching of exceptions which are now safe guarded against. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 96511 published 2017-01-16 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2017-2018 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/96511 title FreeBSD : groovy -- remote execution of untrusted code/DoS vulnerability (4af92a40-db33-11e6-ae1b-002590263bf5) NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-202003-01.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202003-01 (Groovy: Arbitrary code execution) It was discovered that there was a vulnerability within the Java serialization/deserialization process. Impact : An attacker, by crafting a special serialized object, could execute arbitrary code.

It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Primavera Integration (Standard) component, specifically in Apache Standard Taglib, due to an XML external entity (XXE) injection flaw when parsing XML data because of an incorrectly configured XML parser accepting XML external entities from untrusted sources. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted XML data, to disclose resources on the target system or utilize XSLT extensions to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0254) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Primavera Integration (Groovy) component due to unsafe deserialize calls of unauthenticated Java objects to the Apache Commons Collections (ACC) library. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code on the target host.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via HTTP, to execute arbitrary code on the target host. (CVE-2016-6814) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Advanced UI (Apache Commons FileUpload)) due to an unspecified reason. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2016-1000031) - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Third Party Tools (Apache Batik)) due to an issue with deserialization. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via HTTP, to cause the application to stop functioning properly. (CVE-2018-8013) - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Advanced UI (Spring Framework)) due to an issue handling range requests with a high number of ranges, wide ranges that overlap, or both. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via HTTP, to cause the application to stop responding.
