Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.104915
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Apache Commons Compress 1.22 < 1.24.0 DoS Vulnerability
Summary:The Apache Commons Compress library is prone to a denial of; service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
The Apache Commons Compress library is prone to a denial of
service (DoS) vulnerability.

Vulnerability Impact:
A third party can create a malformed TAR file by manipulating
file modification times headers, which when parsed with Apache Commons Compress, will cause a
denial of service issue via CPU consumption.

Affected Software/OS:
Apache Commons FileUpload versions starting from 1.22 and prior
to 1.24.0.

Note: Only applications using CompressorStreamFactory class (with auto-detection of file types),
TarArchiveInputStream and TarFile classes to parse TAR files are impacted. Since this code was
introduced in v1.22, only that version and later versions are impacted.

Solution:
Update to version 1.24.0 or later.

CVSS Score:
