             Summary: Change Javadoc generation per CVE-2013-1571, VU#225657
                 Key: FLUME-2103
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2103
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Docs
    Affects Versions: v1.3.1
            Reporter: Ralph Goers


Oracle has announced a Javadoc vulnerability (CVE-2013-1571 [1], VU#225657 [2]) whereby Javadoc generated with Java 5, Java 6, or Java 7 < 7u25 is vulnerable to a frame injection attack. Oracle has provided a repair-in-place tool for Javadoc that cannot be easily regenerated, but is urging developers to regenerate whatever Javadoc they can using Java 7u25. For all practical purposes, the vulnerability really only applies to publicly-hosted Javadoc, so the Javadoc in our existing Maven artifacts really doesn't have to be worried about (not that we could do anything about it).
