Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 2.6.6
Introduction
------------
This is Apache Jackrabbit(TM) 2.6, a fully compliant implementation of the
Content Repository for Java(TM) Technology API, version 2.0 (JCR 2.0) as
specified in the Java Specification Request 283 (JSR 283).
Apache Jackrabbit 2.6.6 is a patch release that contains fixes and
improvements over Jackrabbit 2.6. This release also contains a security fix
for Jackrabbit 2.6.5 and earlier. Jackrabbit 2.6.x releases are considered
stable and targeted for production use.
Security advisory (JCR-3883 / CVE-2015-1833)
--------------------------------------------
This release fixes an important security issue in the jackrabbit-webdav
module
reported by Mikhail Egorov.
When processing a WebDAV request body containing XML, the XML parser can be
instructed to read content from network resources accessible to the host,
identified by URI schemes such as "http(s)" or "file". Depending on the
WebDAV request, this can not only be used to trigger internal network
requests, but might also be used to insert said content into the request,
potentially exposing it to the attacker and others (for instance, by
inserting
said content in a WebDAV property value using a PROPPATCH request). See also
IETF RFC 4918, Section 20.6.
Users of the jackrabbit-webdav module are advised to immediately update the
module to this release or disable WebDAV access to the repository.
