Descriptions
The @CopyFrom operation in the POST servlet in the org.apache.sling.servlets.post bundle before 2.1.2 in Apache Sling does not prevent attempts to copy an ancestor node to a descendant node, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted HTTP request.
La operación @CopyFrom en el servlet POST en el conjunto org.apache.sling.servlets.post anteriores a v2.1.2 en Apache Sling no previene intentos de copia sobre un nodo de nivel superior sobre uno de nivel inferior, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito) a través de una petición HTTP.
