 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4245-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany July 22, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : libcommons-fileupload-java Version : 1.4-1+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2023-24998 CVE-2025-48976 Debian Bug : 1031733 1108120

 Two security vulnerabilities have been found in libcommons-fileupload-java, a Java library that adds robust, high-performance, file upload capability to your servlets and web applications.

 CVE-2023-24998:

 Apache Commons FileUpload does not limit the number of request parts to be processed resulting in the possibility of an attacker triggering a DoS with a malicious upload or series of uploads. Note that, like all of the file upload limits, the new configuration option (FileUploadBase#setFileCountMax) is not enabled by default and must be explicitly configured.

 CVE-2025-48976:

 Allocation of resources for multipart headers with insufficient limits enabled a DoS vulnerability in Apache Commons FileUpload.

 For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 1.4-1+deb11u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your libcommons-fileupload-java packages.
