Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-02-19 02:24:46 UTC 
CVE-2021-26296:

Description:
In the default configuration, Apache MyFaces Core versions 2.2.0 to 2.2.13,
2.3.0 to 2.3.7, 2.3-next-M1 to 2.3-next-M4, and 3.0.0-RC1 use
cryptographically weak implicit and explicit cross-site request forgery
(CSRF) tokens. Due to that limitation, it is possible (although difficult)
for an attacker to calculate a future CSRF token value and to use that
value to trick a user into executing unwanted actions on an application.

This issue is being tracked as MYFACES-4373

Mitigation:
Existing web.xml configuration parameters can be used to direct MyFaces to
use SecureRandom for CSRF token generation:

org.apache.myfaces.RANDOM_KEY_IN_VIEW_STATE_SESSION_TOKEN=secureRandom
org.apache.myfaces.RANDOM_KEY_IN_CSRF_SESSION_TOKEN=secureRandom
org.apache.myfaces.RANDOM_KEY_IN_WEBSOCKET_SESSION_TOKEN=secureRandom


Please bump to 2.2.13.
