sol23432135: Apache Struts 2 vulnerability CVE-2016-3093
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: 06/27/2016
Vulnerability Description
Apache Struts 2.0.0 through 2.3.24.1 does not properly cache method references
when used with OGNL before 3.0.12, which allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (block access to a web site) via unspecified vectors.
(CVE-2016-3093)
Impact
The Object-Graph Navigation Language (OGNL) used by the Apache Struts
framework uses an improper implementation of cache to store method references.
When BIG-IP AAM is provisioned, a remote attacker can attempt to initiate a
denial-of-service (DoS) attack.
Security Issue Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 600461 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability.
