Synopsis
========

Apache Commons BeanUtils does not properly suppress the class property,
which could lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

Commons-beanutils provides easy-to-use wrappers around Reflection and
Introspection APIs

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-java/commons-beanutils
                                  < 1.9.2                    >= 1.9.2 

Description
===========

Apache Commons BeanUtils does not suppress the class property, which
allows for the manipulation of the ClassLoader.

Impact
======

Remote attackers could potentially execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Commons BeanUtils users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=dev-java/commons-beanutils-1.9.2"

References
==========
