CVE-2016-6809 [CRITICAL] CVE-2016-6809 tika: Native deserialization of Java objects in matlab files
CVE-2016-6809 tika: Native deserialization of Java objects in matlab files
Apache Tika wraps the jmatio parser (https://github.com/gradusnikov/jmatio) to handle MATLAB files. The parser uses native deserialization on serialized Java objects embedded in MATLAB files. A malicious user could inject arbitrary code into a MATLAB file that would be executed when the object is deserialized.
Versions Affected: 1.6-1.13
Mitigation: Turn off MATLAB file parsing or upgrade to Tika 1.14
