Article Summary
  1. CVE-2016-1000027

Link

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-1000027

 

Component

spring-web version 3.2.18

 

RSA Response

Authentication Manager uses the readRemoteInvocation function from the Spring interface HttpInvokerServiceExporter, which can potentially allow deserialization of untrusted objects if the endpoints are exposed to untrusted clients. As per CVE-2016-1000027, any interface that permits deserialization of objects from untrusted clients may be impacted. However, Authentication Manager restricts access to the HttpInvokerServiceExporter service to only trusted and authenticated clients, hence, there is no impact on Authentication Manager due to this CVE.

 

Component 

spring-web version 5.3.22

 

RSA Response

Authentication Manager is not vulnerable because the product (OpenSAML service) doesn't use the readRemoteInvocation function of HttpInvokerServiceExporter in spring-web version 5.3.22.
