Detail

Synopsis

Groovy is vulnerable to a remote execution of arbitrary code when java serialization is used.

Background

A multi-faceted language for the Java platform

Description

Groovy's MethodClosure class, in runtime/MethodClosure.java, is vulnerable to a crafted serialized object.

Impact

Remote attackers could potentially execute arbitrary code, or cause Denial of Service condition

Workaround

A workaround exists by using a custom security policy file utilizing the standard Java security manager, or do not rely on serialization to communicate remotely.

Resolution

All Groovy users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/groovy-2.4.5"
