Descriptions

Jenkins before 2.3 and LTS before 1.651.2 allows remote authenticated users to trigger updating of update site metadata by leveraging a missing permissions check. NOTE: this issue can be combined with DNS cache poisoning to cause a denial of service (service disruption).

Jenkins en versiones anteriores a 2.3 y LTS en versiones anteriores a 1.651.2 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados desencadenar actualizaciones de metadatos provenientes de portales de actualización aprovechando la falta de comprobación de permisos. NOTA: este problema puede darse en combinación con el envenenamiento de la caché DNS para provocar una denegación de servicio (interrupción de servicio).
