Dag H. Wanvik updated DERBY-6619: --------------------------------- Attachment: (was: derby-6619.diff) > After silently swallowing SecurityExceptions, Derby can leak class loaders > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-6619 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6619 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Services > Reporter: Rick Hillegas > Assignee: Dag H. Wanvik > Attachments: derby-6619.diff, derby-6619.status > > > As part of the fix for DERBY-3745, Derby silently swallows security > exceptions and leaks class loaders. This can give rise to denial-of-service > attacks. At a minimum, Derby should report the swallowed exceptions so that > the security policy can be corrected and the application can be hardened > against this attack. The swallowing occurs at these locations: > {noformat} > org.apache.derby.impl.services.timer.SingletonTimerFactory run Catch > java.lang.SecurityException 0 line 175 > org.apache.derby.impl.services.timer.SingletonTimerFactory run Catch > java.lang.SecurityException 1 line 158 > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
