Security vulnerability in dependent library #121
Description
White source flagged security vulnerability issue in commons-compress:jar:1.8, which is used by me.raynes:fs:jar:1.4.6.
Following is the dependency tree:
+- me.raynes:fs:jar:1.4.6:compile
| +- (org.clojure:clojure:jar:1.4.0:compile
| - (org.apache.commons:commons-compress:jar:1.8:compile)
White source concern:
When reading a specially crafted ZIP archive, the read method of Apache Commons Compress 1.7 to 1.17's ZipArchiveInputStream can fail to return the correct EOF indication after the end of the stream has been reached. When combined with a java.io.InputStreamReader this can lead to an infinite stream, which can be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use Compress' zip package.
Suggested fix:
I. Upgrade to version 1.18
II. The vendor has issued a fix (1.18).
