Hi all,
in order to provide a work-around for the known remote code exploit via
java de-serialization of malicious InvokerTransformer instances, I would
like to start a vote to release Commons Collections 3.2.2 based on RC1.
I would kindly ask people to review the RC especially wrt the following
topics:
* OSGI compatibility
* reproducing the exploits and verifying that it provides protection
* any kind of regression that this release might create with existing
applications
Notes:
* the site will not be published, it just serves as a reference to
access the various reports. After a successful vote, the current 4.X
branch site will be updated with relevant information and published.
* some tests might fail with various IBM JDK 6 JREs, these are known
issues and have been worked-around in the 4.X branch but are not
back-ported to this release.
