Calendar Grey March 29, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
News for Fedora: critical updates issued for apache-commons-configuration to rectify stack overflow issues. Essential patches have been integrated.
This update contains security fixes for CVE-2024-29131 and CVE-2024-29133

Summary

The Commons Configuration software library provides a generic

configuration interface which enables a Java application to read

configuration data from a variety of sources. Commons Configuration

provides typed access to single, and multi-valued configuration

parameters as demonstrated by the following code:

Double double = config.getDouble("number");

Integer integer = config.getInteger("number");

Configuration parameters may be loaded from the following sources:

- Properties files

- XML documents

- Windows INI files

- Property list files (plist)

- JNDI

- JDBC Datasource

- System properties

- Applet parameters

- Servlet parameters

Configuration objects are created using configuration builders.

Different configuration sources can be mixed using a

CombinedConfigurationBuilder and a CombinedConfiguration. Additional

sources of configuration parameters can be created by using custom

configuration objects. This customization can be achieved by extending

AbstractConfiguration or AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration.
