Bug 724534 – <dev-java/batik-1.14: multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2018-8013, CVE-2019-17566, CVE-2020-11987)

• Status: IN_PROGRESS
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Sam James 2020-05-22 07:53:43 UTC]

Description:
"In Apache Batik 1.x before 1.10, when deserializing subclass of `AbstractDocument`, the class takes a string from the inputStream as the class name which then use it to call the no-arg constructor of the class. Fix was to check the class type before calling newInstance in deserialization."

Also CVE-2019-17566, https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2020/q2/189:

"The Apache Batik library is vulnerable to SSRF via "xlink:href" attributes that allow an attacker to cause the underlying server to make arbitrary GET requests.

Users should upgrade to Batik 1.13 or later and pass -blockExternalResources on the command line"

[Comment 2 John Helmert III 2021-02-25 19:17:55 UTC]

CVE-2020-11987:

Apache Batik 1.13 is vulnerable to server-side request forgery, caused by improper input validation by the NodePickerPanel. By using a specially-crafted argument, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the underlying server to make arbitrary GET requests.
