Good afternoon, our company utilizes the PDFBox software and have been notified by our internal IT staff that there is a potential risk for programs developed with Java code, where they deserialize untrusted data without verifying the results first. Would anyone on this mailing list be able to advise as to whether this particular software is at risk.
Additional background about the vulnerability is available at the following web link: http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/502.html Due to the nature of this particular risk our company is very concerned and appreciate any insight and assistance in determining this would be appreciated. If there are any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.
