Published Jul 11, 2013
·
Updated

A flaw was found in JGroup's DiagnosticsHandler that allowed an attacker on an adjacent network to reuse the credentials from a previous successful authentication. This could be exploited to read diagnostic information (information disclosure) and attain limited remote code execution.

This issue affects JGroups versions 3.0.x (3.0.11.Final and later), 3.1.x (3.1.0.Final and later), 3.2.x (prior to 3.2.10.Final) and 3.3.x (prior to 3.3.3.Final).

Other sources

The DiagnosticsHandler in JGroup 3.0.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.x before 3.2.9, and 3.3.x before 3.3.3 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (diagnostic information) and execute arbitrary code by reusing valid credentials.
