Descriptions

A shortcoming in the HMEF package of poi-scratchpad (Apache POI) allows an attacker to cause an Out of Memory exception. This package is used to read TNEF files (Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server). If an application uses poi-scratchpad to parse TNEF files and the application allows untrusted users to supply them, then a carefully crafted file can cause an Out of Memory exception. This issue affects poi-scratchpad version 5.2.0 and prior versions. Users are recommended to upgrade to poi-scratchpad 5.2.1.

Un fallo en el paquete HMEF de poi-scratchpad (Apache POI) permite a un atacante causar una excepción de Falta de Memoria. Este paquete es usado para leer archivos TNEF (Microsoft Outlook y Microsoft Exchange Server). Si una aplicación usa poi-scratchpad para analizar archivos TNEF y la aplicación permite que usuarios no confiables los suministren, entonces un archivo cuidadosamente diseñado puede causar una excepción de Falta de Memoria. Este problema afecta a versión 5.2.0 de poi-scratchpad y versiones anteriores. Es recomendado a usuarios actualizar a poi-scratchpad versión 5.2.1

*Credits: Apache POI would like to thank Craig Haft of Yahoo Inc. for reporting and providing a patch for this issue.
