Descriptions

Jenkins before 1.600 and LTS before 1.596.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (improper plug-in and tool installation) via crafted update center data.

Jenkins en versiones anteriores a 1.600 y LTS en versiones anteriores a 1.596.1 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados provocar una denegación de servicio (plug-in indebido e instalación de herramienta) a través del centro de datos actualizado manipulado.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way Jenkins handled certain update center data. An authenticated user could provide specially crafted update center data to Jenkins, causing plug-in and tool installation to not work properly.
