The postinst script in the tomcat6 package before 6.0.45+dfsg-1~deb7u4 on Debian wheezy, before 6.0.35-1ubuntu3.9 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; the tomcat7 package before 7.0.28-4+deb7u8 on Debian wheezy, before 7.0.56-3+deb8u6 on Debian jessie, before 7.0.52-1ubuntu0.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, and 16.10; and the tomcat8 package before 8.0.14-1+deb8u5 on Debian jessie, before 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, before 8.0.37-1ubuntu0.1 on Ubuntu 16.10, and before 8.0.38-2ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 17.04 might allow local users with access to the tomcat account to obtain sensitive information or gain root privileges via a symlink attack on the Catalina localhost directory.

An issue was discovered in Moxa EDR-810 Industrial Secure Router. By accessing a specific uniform resource locator (URL) on the web server, a malicious user is able to access configuration and log files (PRIVILEGE ESCALATION).

Log files generated by Lenovo XClarity Administrator (LXCA) versions earlier than 1.2.2 may contain user credentials in a non-secure, clear text form that could be viewed by a non-privileged user.

puppet: Unsafe YAML deserialization

Versions of Puppet prior to 4.10.1 will deserialize data off the wire (from the agent to the server, in this case) with a attacker-specified format. This could be used to force YAML deserialization in an unsafe manner, which would lead to remote code execution. This change constrains the format of data on the wire to PSON or safely decoded YAML.

tika: Native deserialization of Java objects in matlab files

Apache Tika before 1.14 allows Java code execution for serialized objects embedded in MATLAB files. The issue exists because Tika invokes JMatIO to do native deserialization.

Product: Apache Cordova Android 5.2.2 and earlier. The application calls methods of the Log class. Messages passed to these methods (Log.v(), Log.d(), Log.i(), Log.w(), and Log.e()) are stored in a series of circular buffers on the device. By default, a maximum of four 16 KB rotated logs are kept in addition to the current log. The logged data can be read using Logcat on the device. When using platforms prior to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the log data is not sandboxed per application; any application installed on the device has the capability to read data logged by other applications.

The DiskFileItem class in Apache Wicket 6.x before 6.25.0 and 1.5.x before 1.5.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) and write to, move, and delete files with the permissions of DiskFileItem, and if running on a Java VM before 1.3.1, execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object.

xmlrpc: Deserialization of untrusted Java object through <ex:serializable> tag

The Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library 3.1.3, as used in Apache Archiva, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in an <ex:serializable> element.

foreman: inside discovery-debug, the root password is displayed in plaintext

discovery-debug in Foreman before 6.2 when the ssh service has been enabled on discovered nodes displays the root password in plaintext in the system journal when used to log in, which allows local users with access to the system journal to obtain the root password by reading the system journal, or by clicking Logs on the console.

An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3 is affected. macOS before 10.12.4 is affected. tvOS before 10.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.2 is affected. The issue involves symlink mishandling in the "libarchive" component. It allows local users to change arbitrary directory permissions via unspecified vectors.

camel-snakeyaml: Unmarshalling operation is vulnerable to RCE

Apache Camel's camel-snakeyaml component is vulnerable to Java object de-serialization vulnerability. De-serializing untrusted data can lead to security flaws.

mysql-connector-java: Improper automatic deserialization of binary data (CPU Apr 2017)

Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/J). Supported versions that are affected are 5.1.40 and earlier. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Connectors. While the vulnerability is in MySQL Connectors, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of MySQL Connectors. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Revive Adserver before 4.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via serialized data in the cookies related to the delivery scripts.

PooledInvokerServlet is not secured, and deserializes data

The PooledInvokerServlet in JBoss EAP 4.x and 5.x allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized payload.

pulp: Insecure temporary file used when generating certificate for Pulp Nodes

The pulp-gen-nodes-certificate script in Pulp before 2.8.3 allows local users to leak the keys or write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

The AMF unmarshallers in Red5 Media Server before 1.0.8 do not restrict the classes for which it performs deserialization, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted serialized Java data.

The pg_ctlcluster script in postgresql-common package in Debian wheezy before 134wheezy5, in Debian jessie before 165+deb8u2, in Debian unstable before 178, in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS before 129ubuntu1.2, in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS before 154ubuntu1.1, in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS before 173ubuntu0.1, in Ubuntu 17.04 before 179ubuntu0.1, and in Ubuntu 17.10 before 184ubuntu1.1 allows local users to gain root privileges via a symlink attack on a logfile in /var/log/postgresql.

logback: Serialization vulnerability in SocketServer and ServerSocketReceiver

QOS.ch Logback before 1.2.0 has a serialization vulnerability affecting the SocketServer and ServerSocketReceiver components.

An issue was discovered in the node-serialize package 0.0.4 for Node.js. Untrusted data passed into the unserialize() function can be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution by passing a JavaScript Object with an Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE).

IBM Websphere MQ JMS 7.0.1, 7.1, 7.5, 8.0, and 9.0 client provides classes that deserialize objects from untrusted sources which could allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary Java code by adding vulnerable classes to the classpath. IBM Reference #: 1983457.
