Description David Walser 2015-02-10 14:52:01 CET
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #15051 +++

Fedora has issued advisories on January 7:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-January/148092.html
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2015-January/148081.html

They fixed it by updating to 2.1.0.

Note that it should BR log4j on Mageia 4 and log4j12 on Cauldron.

Mageia 4 is also affected.

Comment 1 David Walser 2015-02-10 14:57:20 CET
Updated package uploaded for Mageia 4.

Just test that the package installs cleanly.

Advisory:
========================

Updated owasp-esapi-java packages fix security vulnerability:

The authenticated-encryption feature in the symmetric-encryption
implementation in the OWASP Enterprise Security API (ESAPI) for Java 2.x
before 2.1.0 does not properly resist tampering with serialized ciphertext,
which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended cryptographic
protection mechanisms via an attack against authenticity in the default
configuration, involving a null MAC and a zero MAC length (CVE-2013-5679).
