Reino: Errors

Los errores y su tratamiento representan una clase de API. Los errores relacionados con el tratamiento de errores son tan comunes que se merecen una sección por sí mismos. Tal como sucede con los "abusos de la API", hay dos formas de presentar una vulnerabilidad de seguridad relacionada con los errores: la más común es tratar los errores inadecuadamente (o no llegar a hacerlo). La segunda es producir errores que dan demasiada información (a posibles atacantes) o que son difíciles de tratar.

Poor Error Handling: Throw Inside Finally

Abstract
Usar una instrucción throw dentro de un bloque finally rompe la progresión lógica de try-catch-finally.
Explanation
En Java, los bloques finally siempre se ejecutan después de su bloque try-catch correspondiente y se utilizan frecuentemente para liberar recursos asignados, como controladores de archivos o cursores de base de datos. Lanzar una excepción en un bloque finally puede derivar el código de limpieza crítico, puesto que la ejecución normal del programa se interrumpirá.

Ejemplo 1: en el código siguiente, la llamada para stmt.close() se deriva cuando se lanza la FileNotFoundException.

public void processTransaction(Connection conn) throws FileNotFoundException
{
FileInputStream fis = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try
{
stmt = conn.createStatement();
fis = new FileInputStream("badFile.txt");
...
}
catch (FileNotFoundException fe)
{
log("File not found.");
}
catch (SQLException se)
{
//handle error
}
finally
{
if (fis == null)
{
throw new FileNotFoundException();
}

if (stmt != null)
{
try
{
stmt.close();
}
catch (SQLException e)
{
log(e);
}
}
}
}
