Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-01-15 15:46:31 UTC

A security flaw was found in the way Apache CouchDB, a distributed, fault-tolerant and schema-free document-oriented database accessible via a RESTful HTTP/JSON API, processed certain JSON callback. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted JSON callback that, when processed could lead to arbitrary JSON code execution via Adobe Flash.

Upstream advisory:
