Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Apache Sling 2.2.0/2.3.0. This affects the function deepGetOrCreateNode of the file impl/operations/AbstractCreateOperation.java. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

The deepGetOrCreateNode function in impl/operations/AbstractCreateOperation.java in org.apache.sling.servlets.post.bundle 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 in Apache Sling does not properly handle a NULL value that returned when the session does not have permissions to the root node, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via unspecified vectors.

The weakness was presented 10/17/2013 by Antonio Sanso with Adobe (Website). The advisory is shared at issues.apache.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2013-2254 since 02/19/2013. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 05/03/2019).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (87765), SecurityFocus (BID 62903†) and Secunia (SA55157†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
