Description Martin Prpič 2015-03-19 15:52:24 UTC
The following flaw was found in Apache Batik:

Files lying on the filesystem of the server which uses batik can be revealed to arbitrary users who send maliciously formed SVG files. The file types that can be shown depend on the user context in which the exploitable application is running. If the user is root a full compromise of the server--including confidential or sensitive files--would be possible.

XXE can also be used to attack the availability of the server via denial of service as the references within a xml document can trivially trigger an amplification attack.

Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2015-08-18 08:38:47 UTC
This issue was also fixed in upstream versions 1.7.1 and 1.6.1.

Upstream commit:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1664335

Further details from one of the reporters acknowledged in the upstream advisory:

Comment 5 Jason Shepherd 2015-09-01 03:24:10 UTC
For JBoss Fuse, Apache Batik is used by the camel-fop component to render messages into SVG Image+XML. See:

   https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=camel.git;a=blob;f=components/camel-fop/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/component/fop/FopProducer.java;h=d41b6d187cb7b5faf48fa3244c0b7d77ed204779;hb=e18459e53cf77514bb0fdfeceb423c456bbc4d9d

The vulnerability fixed an issue with the way SVG parses XML, not with the way it produces it. Therefore the issue doesn't effect JBoss Fuse 6.2.0. Add jboss/fuse=notaffected

Comment 6 Jason Shepherd 2015-09-01 04:02:05 UTC
For JBoss FSW, Apache Batik is used by BPEL Console, see:

   system/layers/soa/org/switchyard/component/bpel/main/module.xml

        <!-- Required by bpel2svg module -->
        <module name="org.apache.xmlgraphics" />

If we check the source code for BPEL (downstream Riftsaw) we see it doesn't use the patched SAXDocumentFactory, it used DOMUtils to write an XML Document:

   https://github.com/riftsaw/riftsaw/blob/master/console/bpel2svg/src/main/java/org/wso2/carbon/bpel/ui/bpel2svg/impl/SVGImpl.java

Similar to JBoss Fuse, the SVG functionality is there for rendering XML, not for parsing it. Updating fsw-6/batik to notaffected.
