CVE-2013-2185

DISPUTED The readObject method in the DiskFileItem class in Apache
Tomcat and JBoss Web, as used in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform 6.1.0 and Red Hat JBoss Portal 6.0.0, allows remote attackers to
write to arbitrary files via a NULL byte in a file name in a serialized
instance, a similar issue to CVE-2013-2186. NOTE: this issue is reportedly
disputed by the Apache Tomcat team, although Red Hat considers it a
vulnerability. The dispute appears to regard whether it is the
responsibility of applications to avoid providing untrusted data to be
deserialized, or whether this class should inherently protect against this
issue.
