15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 A vulnerability has been discovered in Apache Commons Text which could
19 result in arbitrary code execution.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 Apache Commons Text is a library focused on algorithms working on
25 strings.
26
27 Affected packages
28 =================
29
30 -------------------------------------------------------------------
31 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
32 -------------------------------------------------------------------
33 1 dev-java/commons-text < 1.10.0 >= 1.10.0
34
35 Description
36 ===========
37
38 Apache Commons Text performs variable interpolation, allowing properties
39 to be dynamically evaluated and expanded. The standard format for
40 interpolation is "${prefix:name}", where "prefix" is used to locate an
41 instance of org.apache.commons.text.lookup.StringLookup that performs
42 the interpolation. The set of default Lookup instances included
43 interpolators that could result in arbitrary code execution or contact
44 with remote servers. These lookups are: - "script" - execute expressions
45 using the JVM script execution engine (javax.script) - "dns" - resolve
46 dns records - "url" - load values from urls, including from remote
47 servers Applications using the interpolation defaults in the affected
48 versions may be vulnerable to remote code execution or unintentional
49 contact with remote servers if untrusted configuration values are used.
50
51 Impact
52 ======
53
54 Crafted input to Apache Commons Text could trigger remote code
55 execution.
56
57 Workaround
58 ==========
59
60 There is no known workaround at this time.
61
62 Resolution
63 ==========
64
65 All Apache Commons Text users should upgrade to the latest version:
66
67 # emerge --sync
68 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/commons-text-1.10.0"
