SCA: security update for org.apache.mina:mina-core (GHSA-76h9-2vwh-w278)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411867

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The ObjectSerializationDecoder in Apache MINA uses Java’s native deserialization protocol to process
 incoming serialized data but lacks the necessary security checks and defenses. This vulnerability allows
 attackers to exploit the deserialization process by sending specially crafted malicious serialized data,
 potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE) attacks. This issue affects MINA core versions 2.0.X,
 2.1.X and 2.2.X, and will be fixed by the releases 2.0.27, 2.1.10 and 2.2.4. It's also important to note
 that an application using MINA core library will only be affected if the IoBuffer#getObject() method is
 called, and this specific method is potentially called when adding a ProtocolCodecFilter instance using
 the ObjectSerializationCodecFactory class in the filter chain. If your application is specifically using
 those classes, you have to upgrade to the latest version of MINA core library. Upgrading will not be
 enough: you also need to explicitly allow the classes the decoder will accept in the
 ObjectSerializationDecoder instance, using one of the three new methods: /** * Accept class names where
 the supplied ClassNameMatcher matches for * deserialization, unless they are otherwise rejected. * *
 @param classNameMatcher the matcher to use */ public void accept(ClassNameMatcher classNameMatcher) /** *
 Accept class names that match the supplied pattern for * deserialization, unless they are otherwise
 rejected. * * @param pattern standard Java regexp */ public void accept(Pattern pattern) /** * Accept the
 wildcard specified classes for deserialization, * unless they are otherwise rejected. * * @param patterns
 Wildcard file name patterns as defined by * {@link
 org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils#wildcardMatch(String, String) FilenameUtils.wildcardMatch} */ public
 void accept(String... patterns) By default, the decoder will reject *all* classes that will be present in
 the incoming data. Note: The FtpServer, SSHd and Vysper sub-project are not affected by this issue.
