CVE-2015-3192

Pivotal Spring Framework before 3.2.14 and 4.x before 4.1.7 do not properly process inline DTD declarations when DTD is not entirely disabled, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and out-of-memory errors) via a crafted XML file.

Pivotal Spring Framework before 3.2.14 and 4.x before 4.1.7 do not properly process inline DTD declarations when DTD is not entirely disabled, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and out-of-memory errors) via a crafted XML file.

TuxCare rebuilt 7 org.springframework packages to address 29 CVEs. Fixed in 3.1.1.RELEASE-tuxcare.1.

TuxCare rebuilt org.springframework:spring-web to address 1 CVE. Fixed in 4.0.0.RELEASE-tuxcare.3.

In Spring Framework before 3.2.14, if DTD is not entirely disabled, inline DTD declarations can be used to perform denial of service attacks known as XML bombs. Such declarations are both well-formed and valid according to XML schema rules but when parsed can cause out of memory errors. To protect against this kind of attack DTD support must be disabled by setting the disallow-doctype-dec feature in the DOM and SAX APIs to true and by setting the supportDTD property in the StAX API to false (CVE-2015-3192).

This package is no longer supported for Mageia 4. Users of this package are advised to upgrade to Mageia 5

Toshiaki Maki discovered that Spring Framework incorrectly handled certain XML files. A remote attacker could exploit this with a crafted XML file to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-3192)

Alvaro Muñoz discovered that Spring Framework incorrectly handled certain URLs. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a reflected file download. (CVE-2015-5211)

It was discovered that Spring Framework did not properly sanitize path inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to read arbitrary files, resulting in a directory traversal attack (CVE-2016-9878)

It was discovered that Spring Framework incorrectly handled XML documents. An attacker could possibly use this issue to generate an XML external entity attack, resulting in a denial of service, disclosure of information or other unspecified impact. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. (CVE-2014-0225)
