Fwd: CVE-2022-26336: poi-scratchpad: A carefully crafted TNEF file can cause an out of memory exception

[PJ Fanning <fa...@apache.org>]

Severity: moderate

Description:

A shortcoming in the HMEF package of poi-scratchpad (Apache POI)
allows an attacker to cause an Out of Memory exception. This package
is used to read TNEF files (Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange
Server). If an application uses poi-scratchpad to parse TNEF files and
the application allows untrusted users to supply them, then a
carefully crafted file can cause an Out of Memory exception. This
issue affects poi-scratchpad version 5.2.0 and prior versions. Users
are recommended to upgrade to poi-scratchpad 5.2.1.

Apache POI would like to thank Craig Haft of Yahoo Inc. for reporting
and providing a patch for this issue.
