CVE-2009-1190: Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the java.util.regex.Pattern.compile method in Sun Java Development...

Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the java.util.regex.Pattern.compile method in Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) before 1.6, when used with spring.jar in SpringSource Spring Framework 1.1.0 through 2.5.6 and 3.0.0.M1 through 3.0.0.M2 and dm Server 1.0.0 through 1.0.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via serializable data with a long regex string containing multiple optional groups, a related issue to CVE-2004-2540.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Java/Spring denial-of-service issue. A remote attacker could send crafted serializable data containing an unusually long regular expression and force excessive CPU use. The business impact is service slowdown or outage, not confirmed data theft or code execution in the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely in legacy Java services accepting untrusted serialized data and running Sun JDK before 1.6 with Spring Framework 1.1.0-2.5.6, 3.0.0.M1-M2, or dm Server 1.0.0-1.0.2. Prioritize if legacy Java/Spring systems remain internet-facing or process partner-supplied serialized data. For modernized environments, urgency is lower but still warrants inventory cleanup because the affected stack is far past normal support expectations. Mitigation focus: Inventory legacy Java runtimes and Spring components against the listed affected versions.; Prioritize upgrade or migration using SpringSource and Java vendor guidance.; Avoid accepting untrusted serialized data where operationally possible..
