Those using Jettison to parse untrusted XML or JSON data may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stackoverflow. This effect may support a denial of service attack.. A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in Jettison, where parsing an untrusted XML or JSON data may lead to a crash. This flaw allows an attacker to supply content that causes the parser to crash by writing outside the memory bounds if the parser is running on user-supplied input, resulting in a denial of service attack.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
