      "value": "c3p0 is a JDBC Connection pooling library. In versions prior to 0.14.0,  c3p0 in combination with other libraries, can compose to a \"sink\" for  deserialization gadgets. The JDBC spec's DataSource.getConnection() and  ConnectionPoolDataSource.getPooledConnection() match the getXXX() form, so JavaBean libraries treat them as \"properties\" assumed safe while they actually call into JDBC drivers. Attackers can thus craft malicious  DataSource objects whose property lookups invoke vulnerable drivers, then  smuggle them in serialized form to where an application deserializes and auto-resolves bean properties — triggering the attack. This requires a  susceptible DataSource/ConnectionPoolDataSource and JDBC driver on the  CLASSPATH, plus a carrier that auto-looks-up JavaBean properties on = deserialization, most commonly a collection paired with an Apache commons-beanutils Comparator that sorts by bean properties. c3p0 supplied that susceptible DataSource/ConnectionPoolDataSource, which was an  essential component of the trigger. This issue has been fixed in version 0.14.0."

      "value": "c3p0 es una biblioteca de pooling de conexiones JDBC. En versiones anteriores a la 0.14.0, c3p0, en combinación con otras bibliotecas, puede componer un ’sumidero’ para gadgets de deserialización. DataSource.getConnection() y ConnectionPoolDataSource.getPooledConnection() de la especificación JDBC coinciden con la forma getXXX(), por lo que las bibliotecas JavaBean los tratan como ’propiedades’ que se asumen seguras, mientras que en realidad llaman a los controladores JDBC. Los atacantes pueden así crear objetos DataSource maliciosos cuyas búsquedas de propiedades invocan controladores vulnerables, para luego introducirlos de forma serializada donde una aplicación deserializa y auto-resuelve las propiedades del bean, lo que desencadena el ataque. Esto requiere un DataSource/ConnectionPoolDataSource y un controlador JDBC susceptibles en el CLASSPATH, además de un portador que auto-busque las propiedades de JavaBean en la deserialización, más comúnmente una colección emparejada con un Comparator de Apache commons-beanutils que ordena por propiedades de bean. c3p0 suministró ese DataSource/ConnectionPoolDataSource susceptible, que fue un componente esencial del desencadenante. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 0.14.0."
