Overview

org.apache.derby:derby is a database engine by Apache.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to LDAP Injection due to improper LDAP authentication checks. An attacker can fill up the disk by creating junk databases and execute malware visible to and executable by the account which booted the server. Additionally, if the databases aren't also protected by SQL GRANT/REVOKE authorization, the attacker can view and corrupt sensitive data, and run sensitive database functions and procedures.
