AVRO-4196 : Package 'Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Core' 17.8.3 has a known high severity vulnerability
The Apache Avro community is pleased to announce the release of Avro 1.12.2!

All signed release artifacts, signatures and verification instructions can be found here

Security Fixes

This release includes a broad round of hardening against malformed and adversarial input across the Java and Python SDKs (bounding allocations and enforcing decompression limits before trusting size fields read from the input), plus a handful of other fixes with security impact in C#, C++ and JavaScript:

C#

AVRO-4196: Package 'Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Core' 17.8.3 has a known high severity vulnerability

AVRO-4314: Validate names against the Avro name grammar at parse time

C++

AVRO-4228: BinaryDecoder::arrayNext() does not handle negative block counts

Java

AVRO-4241: BinaryDecoder should verify available bytes before reading

AVRO-4247: Avro compression codecs should verify decompression size

AVRO-4254: Avoid logging datum values in UnresolvedUnionException

AVRO-4300: Bound array/map allocation and skipping when decoding on both the classic and fast readers

AVRO-4313: javaAnnotation values can inject arbitrary Java code into generated sources

AVRO-4323: Bound DataFileStream block size against available input before allocating the block buffer

AVRO-4324: Align ReflectDatumReader.readArray with GenericDatumReader eager-allocation guards for malformed input

AVRO-4325: Validate column-file header counts and lengths before allocating in the Trevni readers

JavaScript

AVRO-4252: Update JS dependencies with security issues

Python

AVRO-4290: Enforce a maximum decompressed block size

AVRO-4296: Bound allocation when decoding length-prefixed values and collections

Breaking Changes

Java

The Avro 1.12.2 Java SDK now restricts arbitrary Java classes from being instantiated, either from the SpecificDatumReader or java-class attributes in a schema.
If you are not setting the org.apache.avro.SERIALIZABLE_CLASSES or org.apache.avro.SERIALIZABLE_PACKAGES system properties, you may experience the following java.lang.SecurityException:

java.lang.SecurityException: Forbidden com.example.MyCustomClass! This class is not trusted to be included in Avro schemas. at org.apache.avro.util.ClassSecurityValidator.validate(ClassSecurityValidator.java:60) at org.apache.avro.util.ClassUtils.forName(ClassUtils.java:99) ...

See AVRO-4189 for more details.

The recommended action is to list the classes and packages that Avro is allowed to instantiate in the org.apache.avro.SERIALIZABLE_CLASSES or org.apache.avro.SERIALIZABLE_PACKAGES system properties.
If you are running Avro in an environment with trusted schemas and trusted data, you can restore the old behaviour by setting org.apache.avro.SERIALIZABLE_PACKAGES to *
(or calling ClassSecurityValidator.setGlobal(...) to trust your own classes).
