Title: FCKeditor.Java Infinite Loop Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
FCKeditor is an online text/DHTML editor; it is implemented in PHP. FCKeditor.Java allows users to integrate FCKeditor with Java applications.
FCKeditor.Java is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly handle request parameters that contain 'ctrl' characters.
Attackers can exploit this issue to cause the application to enter an infinite loop, which may cause denial-of-service conditions.
Versions prior to FCKeditor.Java 2.4.2 are vulnerable.
Affected Products:
- FCKeditor FCKeditor.Java 2.4
References:
- FCKeditor: FCKeditor.Java Homepage
- FCKeditor: Release Name: 2.4.2
- FCKeditor: Unsanitized request parameters may cause the request loop endlessly
