Wanvik > Fix For: 10.11.1.2, 10.12.0.0 > > Attachments: derby-6619.diff, derby-6619.status, derby-6619b.diff, > derby-6619c.diff, derby.log > > > As part of the fix for DERBY-3745, Derby silently swallows security > exceptions and leaks class loaders. This can give rise to denial-of-service > attacks. At a minimum, Derby should report the swallowed exceptions so that > the security policy can be corrected and the application can be hardened > against this attack. The swallowing occurs at these locations: > {noformat} > org.apache.derby.impl.services.timer.SingletonTimerFactory run Catch > java.lang.SecurityException 0 line 175 > org.apache.derby.impl.services.timer.SingletonTimerFactory run Catch > java.lang.SecurityException 1 line 158 > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
