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 RC2.
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* the site will not be published, it just serves as a reference to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.
* Collections 3.2.2 can not be compiled with JDK 8 due to a name clash
with a newly introduced default method in the Map interface.
* the collections-testframework.jar that has been published in previous
versions is not included in this release
Changes from RC1:
* fixed RAT report
* fixed NOTICE file
* improve the security fix: it has been made symmetric in the sense
that also the serialization of an unsafe class is disabled by
default and will result in an exception
* changed the system property to re-enable serialization of unsafe
classes. It is now
"org.apache.commons.collections.enableUnsafeSerialization"
* all classes in the functor package which (based on current
knowledge) have to be considered unsafe cannot be serialized/
de-serialized any more by default. This includes the following
classes:
** CloneTransformer
** PrototypeFactory (inner classes
PrototypeCloneFactory and
PrototypeSerializationFactory)
** InstantiateFactory
** InstantiateTransformer
** ForClosure
** WhileClosure
** InvokerTransformer

Please review the release candidate and vote.
Considering that this is a security related release and that RC1 did not
show any functional problems with the release, I plan to close this vote
in 24 from now, i.e. after 1800 GMT 12-November 2015
[ ] +1 Release these artifacts
[ ] +0 OK, but...
[ ] -0 OK, but really should fix...
[ ] -1 I oppose this release because...
Thanks,
Thomas
