org.jboss.seam.web.AuthenticationFilter in Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.5.0, JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBEAP) 5.2.0, and JBoss Enterprise Web Platform (JBEWP) 5.2.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted authentication header, related to Seam logging.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0792 advisory.

    Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Platform is a platform for Java applications,     which integrates the JBoss Web Server with JBoss Hibernate and JBoss Seam.

    It was found that the org.jboss.seam.web.AuthenticationFilter class     implementation did not properly use Seam logging. A remote attacker could     send specially crafted authentication headers to an application, which     could result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user     running that application. (CVE-2014-0248)

    The CVE-2014-0248 issue was discovered by Marek Schmidt of Red Hat.

    All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.2.0 on Red Hat     Enterprise Linux 4, 5, and 6 are advised to upgrade to these updated     packages. The JBoss server process must be restarted for the update to take     effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
