The widespread fallout of the log4j vulnerabilities has affected the software industry, as thousands of Java packages have been significantly impacted by the disclosure. To address the insecurity of the BinaryObjectHelper class, the following changes to DdlUtils have been made: (1) BinaryObjectsHelper.java has been deleted from the DdlUtils source repository and the DdlUtils feature of propagating data of SQL binary types is therefore no longer present in DdlUtils (2) The ddlutils-1.0 release has been removed from the Apache Release Distribution Infrastructure (3) The DdlUtils web site has been updated to indicate that DdlUtils is now available only as source code, not as a packaged release.Representing a high-risk and complex scenario for businesses, Apache Log4j vulnerability ( CVE-2021-44228) has impacted over 44 % of corporate networks worldwide.

Please note that DdlUtils is no longer being actively developed. The BinaryObjectsHelper class was insecure and used ObjectInputStream.readObject without validating that the input data was safe to deserialize. Īpache DB DdlUtils 1.0 included a BinaryObjectsHelper that was intended for use when migrating database data with a SQL data type of BINARY, VARBINARY, LONGVARBINARY, or BLOB between databases using the ddlutils features. Apache Sling Commons Messaging Mail 2.0 adds support for enabling server identity checks and these checks are enabled by default. A user could enable these checks nevertheless by accessing the session via the message created by SimpleMessageBuilder and setting the property to true. The SimpleMailService in Apache Sling Commons Messaging Mail 1.0 lacks an option to enable these checks for the shared mail session. For compatibility reasons these additional checks are disabled by default in JavaMail/Jakarta Mail.

To reduce the risk of 'man in the middle' attacks additional server identity checks must be performed when accessing mail servers. Apache Sling Commons Messaging Mail provides a simple layer on top of JavaMail/Jakarta Mail for OSGi to send mails via SMTPS.
