Description

PartialBufferOutputStream2 in GeoServer before 1.6.1 and 1.7.0-beta1 attempts to flush buffer contents even when it is handling an "in memory buffer," which prevents the reporting of a service exception, with unknown impact and attack vectors.

• CWE-119Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory BufferThe product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
