CVE-2013-2254: Apache Org.apache.sling.servlets.post

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 4.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The deepGetOrCreateNode function in impl/operations/AbstractCreateOperation.java in org.apache.sling.servlets.post.bundle 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 in Apache Sling does not properly handle a NULL value that returned when the session does not have permissions to the root node, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via unspecified vectors.

Affected products

• Apache Org.apache.sling.servlets.post: version 2.2.0 only; version 2.3.0 only
