NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream red5 package and not the red5 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The AMF unmarshallers in Red5 Media Server before 1.0.8 do not restrict the classes for which it performs deserialization, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted serialized Java data.
