Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Uncontrolled memory allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10237)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists due to unbounded memory allocation. A remote attacker can cause the service to crash and deserialize attacker-provided data, because the AtomicDoubleArray class (when serialized with Java serialization) and the CompoundOrdering class (when serialized with GWT serialization) perform eager allocation without appropriate checks on what a client has sent and whether the data size is reasonable.
