Descriptions

Apache Tika before 1.14 allows Java code execution for serialized objects embedded in MATLAB files. The issue exists because Tika invokes JMatIO to do native deserialization.

Apache Tika en versiones anteriores a 1.14 permite la ejecución de código Java para objetos serializados incrustados en archivos MATLAB. El problema existe porque Tika invoca JMatIO para hacer la deserialización nativa.

Apache Tika wraps the jmatio parser to handle MATLAB files. The parser uses native deserialization on serialized Java objects embedded in MATLAB files. A malicious user could inject arbitrary code into a MATLAB file that would be executed when the object is deserialized. Versions 1.6 through 1.13 are affected.
