NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream shiro package and not the shiro package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache Shiro before 1.2.5, when a cipher key has not been configured for the "remember me" feature, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or bypass intended access restrictions via an unspecified request parameter.
