RHSA-2015:2522
Vulnerability from csaf_opensuse - Published: 2015-11-30 14:19 - Updated: 2026-11-05 04:14It was found that the Apache commons-collections library permitted code execution when deserializing objects involving a specially constructed chain of classes. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application using the commons-collections library.
