Descriptions

A flaw was found in Infinispan, which does not detect circular object references when unmarshalling. An authenticated attacker with sufficient permissions could insert a maliciously constructed object into the cache and use it to cause out of memory errors and achieve a denial of service.

Se encontró una falla en Infinispan, que no detecta referencias de objetos circulares al desarmar. Un atacante autenticado con permisos suficientes podría insertar un objeto construido con fines malintencionados en la memoria caché y utilizarlo para provocar errores de falta de memoria y lograr una denegación de servicio.
