Advisory Summary

CVE-2019-25587 is a MODERATE (CVSS 6.2) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-1282: Assumed-Immutable Data is Stored in Writable Memory) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when immutable data, such as a first-stage bootloader, device identifiers, and "write-once" configuration settings are stored in writable memory that can be re-programmed or updated in the field.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

How to Fix CVE-2019-25587

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2019-25587, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-1282: Assumed-Immutable Data is Stored in Writable Memory, where immutable data, such as a first-stage bootloader, device identifiers, and "write-once" configuration settings are stored in writable memory that can be re-programmed or updated in the field. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

BulletProof FTP Server 2019.0.0.50 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the Storage-Path configuration parameter that allows local attackers to crash the application by supplying an excessively long string value. Attackers can enable the Override Storage-Path setting and paste a buffer of 500 bytes or more to trigger an application crash when saving the configuration.
