CVE-2024-45772: Apache Lucene Replicator: Deserialization of Untrusted Data

[Robert Muir <rmuir () apache org>]

Severity: low

Affected versions:

- Apache Lucene Replicator 4.4.0 before 9.12.0

Description:

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Lucene Replicator.

This issue affects Apache Lucene's replicator module: from 4.4.0 before 9.12.0.
The deprecated org.apache.lucene.replicator.http package is affected.
The org.apache.lucene.replicator.nrt package is not affected.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.12.0, which fixes the issue.

Java serialization filters (such as -Djdk.serialFilter='!*' on the commandline) can mitigate the issue on vulnerable 
versions without impacting functionality.
