com.google.guava:guava@23.1-android vulnerabilities

com.google.guava:guava is a set of core libraries that includes new collection types (such as multimap and multiset,immutable collections, a graph library, functional types, an in-memory cache and more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Insecure Permissions due to the use of Java's default temporary directory for file creation in FileBackedOutputStream. Other users and apps on the machine with access to the default Java temporary directory can access the files created by this class. This more fully addresses the underlying issue described in CVE-2020-8908, by deprecating the permissive temp file creation behavior.

NOTE: Even though the security vulnerability is fixed in version 32.0.0, the maintainers recommend using version 32.0.1, as version 32.0.0 breaks some functionality under Windows.

Upgrade com.google.guava:guava to version 32.0.0-android, 32.0.0-jre or higher.

com.google.guava:guava is a set of core libraries that includes new collection types (such as multimap and multiset,immutable collections, a graph library, functional types, an in-memory cache and more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure. The file permissions on the file created by com.google.common.io.Files.createTempDir allow an attacker running a malicious program co-resident on the same machine to steal secrets stored in this directory. This is because, by default, on unix-like operating systems the /tmp directory is shared between all users, so if the correct file permissions aren't set by the directory/file creator, the file becomes readable by all other users on that system.

There is no fix for com.google.guava:guava. However, in version 30.0 and above, the vulnerable functionality has been deprecated. In oder to mitigate this vulnerability, upgrade to version 30.0 or higher and ensure your dependencies don't use the createTempDir or createTempFile methods.

com.google.guava:guava is a set of core libraries that includes new collection types (such as multimap and multiset,immutable collections, a graph library, functional types, an in-memory cache and more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data. During deserialization, two Guava classes accept a caller-specified size parameter and eagerly allocate an array of that size:

• AtomicDoubleArray (when serialized with Java serialization)
• CompoundOrdering (when serialized with GWT serialization)

An attacker may be able to send a specially crafted request which with then cause the server to allocate all it's memory, without validation whether the data size is reasonable.

Upgrade com.google.guava:guava to version 24.1.1, 24.1.1-jre or higher.
