Description

The DiskFileItem class in Apache Wicket 6.x before 6.25.0 and 1.5.x before 1.5.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) and write to, move, and delete files with the permissions of DiskFileItem, and if running on a Java VM before 1.3.1, execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object.
