critical Nessus Plugin ID 189291
Language:
Description
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202401-26 (Apache XML-RPC: Multiple Vulnerabilities)- XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in the Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library 3.1.3, as used in Apache Archiva, allows remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via a crafted DTD. (CVE-2016-5002)
- The Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library 3.1.3, as used in Apache Archiva, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in an <ex:serializable> element.
(CVE-2016-5003)
- An untrusted deserialization was found in the org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult method of Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library. A malicious XML-RPC server could target a XML-RPC client causing it to execute arbitrary code. Apache XML-RPC is no longer maintained and this issue will not be fixed. (CVE-2019-17570)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Gentoo has discontinued support for Apache XML-RPC. We recommend that users unmerge it:# emerge --ask --depclean dev-java/xmlrpc
