What is CVE-2017-15692?

An issue exists in Apache Geode prior to version 1.4.0, where the TcpServer in the Geode locator opens a network port that can deserialize potentially unsafe data. If an unprivileged user accesses the Geode locator, they might exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code remotely, provided that certain classes are available on the classpath. This poses significant security risks, especially in environments where proper access controls are not enforced.

Affected Version(s)

Apache Geode 1.0.0 to 1.3.0
