Descriptions

The Aerospike Java client is a Java application that implements a network protocol to communicate with an Aerospike server. Prior to versions 7.0.0, 6.2.0, 5.2.0, and 4.5.0 some of the messages received from the server contain Java objects that the client deserializes when it encounters them without further validation. Attackers that manage to trick clients into communicating with a malicious server can include especially crafted objects in its responses that, once deserialized by the client, force it to execute arbitrary code. This can be abused to take control of the machine the client is running on. Versions 7.0.0, 6.2.0, 5.2.0, and 4.5.0 contain a patch for this issue.

El cliente Java de Aerospike es una aplicación Java que implementa un protocolo de red para comunicarse con un servidor Aerospike. Antes de las versiones 7.0.0, 6.2.0, 5.2.0 y 4.5.0, algunos de los mensajes recibidos del servidor contenían objetos Java que el cliente deserializaba cuando los encontraba sin validación adicional. Los atacantes que consiguen engañar a los clientes para que se comuniquen con un servidor malicioso pueden incluir objetos especialmente diseñados en sus respuestas que, una vez deserializados por el cliente, le obligan a ejecutar código arbitrario. Esto se puede aprovechar para tomar el control de la máquina en la que se ejecuta el cliente. Las versiones 7.0.0, 6.2.0, 5.2.0 y 4.5.0 contienen un parche para este problema.
