Stevie Beck commented on COLLECTIONS-580:
-----------------------------------------
This reminds me of the the general "SerialDoS" code, published here:
https://gist.github.com/coekie/a27cc406fc9f3dc7a70d
I am not THAT Java expert, so I just assume, that any application that allows
deserialization from untrusted input, can be DoS'ed - regardless what libraries
are included in the classpath.
Just creation of code execution needs more investigation and creativity and the
need to find suitable gadgets...
> Arbitrary remote code execution with InvokerTransformer
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COLLECTIONS-580
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-580
> Project: Commons Collections
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0, 4.0
> Reporter: Philippe Marschall
> Fix For: 3.2.2, 4.1
>
> Attachments: COLLECTIONS-580.patch
>
>
> With {{InvokerTransformer}} serializable collections can be build that
> execute arbitrary Java code.
> {{sun.reflect.annotation.AnnotationInvocationHandler#readObject}} invokes
> {{#entrySet}} and {{#get}} on a deserialized collection. If you have an
> endpoint that accepts serialized Java objects (JMX, RMI, remote EJB, ...) you
> can combine the two to create arbitrary remote code execution vulnerability.
> I don't know of a good fix short of removing {{InvokerTransformer}} or making
> it not Serializable. Both probably break existing applications.
> This is not my research, but has been discovered by other people.
