CVE-2014-3527 Fixed in Spring Security 3.2.5 and 3.1.7

Releases | Rob Winch | August 15, 2014 | ...

Spring Security 3.2.5 (change log) and 3.1.7 (change log) have been released and are available in Maven Central. Important highlights of this release are:

  • This release contains a fix for CVE-2014-3527 which resolves an issue where a malicious CAS Service can impersonate another CAS Service when using proxy tickets.
  • This release updates the transitive dependencies of the cas module to cas-client-core which has a fix for CVE-2014-4172. This issue was not in Spring Security itself, but the library in which it depends on.

A special thanks to Scott Battaglia & the rest of the CAS team for relaying CVE-2014-3527 to the Spring Security team and coordinating with the Spring Security team on the CAS release to resolve CVE-2014-4172.
