CVE-2012-2138

Org.apache.sling.servlets.post < 2.1.0 - Access Control

Title source: rule

Description

The @CopyFrom operation in the POST servlet in the org.apache.sling.servlets.post bundle before 2.1.2 in Apache Sling does not prevent attempts to copy an ancestor node to a descendant node, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted HTTP request.
