Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 202301-05


                                       https://security.gentoo.org/  

Severity: High
Title: Apache Commons Text: Arbitrary Code Execution
Date: January 11, 2023
Bugs: #877577
ID: 202301-05


Synopsis

A vulnerability has been discovered in Apache Commons Text which could
result in arbitrary code execution.

Background

Apache Commons Text is a library focused on algorithms working on
strings.

Affected packages

-------------------------------------------------------------------  
 Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected  
-------------------------------------------------------------------  

1 dev-java/commons-text < 1.10.0 >= 1.10.0

Description

Apache Commons Text performs variable interpolation, allowing properties
to be dynamically evaluated and expanded. The standard format for
interpolation is "${prefix:name}", where “prefix” is used to locate an
instance of org.apache.commons.text.lookup.StringLookup that performs
the interpolation. The set of default Lookup instances included
interpolators that could result in arbitrary code execution or contact
with remote servers. These lookups are: - “script” - execute expressions
using the JVM script execution engine (javax.script) - “dns” - resolve
dns records - “url” - load values from urls, including from remote
servers Applications using the interpolation defaults in the affected
versions may be vulnerable to remote code execution or unintentional
contact with remote servers if untrusted configuration values are used.

Impact

Crafted input to Apache Commons Text could trigger remote code
execution.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Apache Commons Text users should upgrade to the latest version:

emerge --sync

emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose “>=dev-java/commons-text-1.10.0”

CVE-2022-44749: Security Advisories | KNIME

A directory traversal vulnerability in the ZIP archive extraction routines of KNIME Analytics Platform 3.2.0 and above can result in arbitrary files being overwritten on the user's system. This vulnerability is also known as 'Zip-Slip'. An attacker can create a KNIME workflow that, when being opened by a user, can overwrite arbitrary files that the user has write access to. It's not necessary to execute the workflow, opening the workflow is sufficient. The user will notice that something is wrong because an error is being reported but only after the files have already been written. This can impact data integrity (file contents are changed) or cause errors in other software (vital files being corrupted). It can even lead to remote code execution if executable files are being replaced and subsequently executed by the user. In all cases the attacker has to know the location of files on the user's system, though.
