Descriptions

The deepGetOrCreateNode function in impl/operations/AbstractCreateOperation.java in org.apache.sling.servlets.post.bundle 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 in Apache Sling does not properly handle a NULL value that returned when the session does not have permissions to the root node, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via unspecified vectors.

La función deepGetOrCreateNode en impl/operations/AbstractCreateOperation.java en org.apache.sling.servlets.post.bundle 2.2.0 y 2.3.0 de Apache Sling no maneja apropiadamente un valor nulo que es devuelto cuando la sesión no tiene permisos para el nodo raíz, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito) a través de vectores no especificados.

Apache Sling versions 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 suffer from infinite loop issues that can lead to denial of service.
