ReflectionHelper (org.hibernate.validator.util.ReflectionHelper) in Hibernate Validator 4.1.0 before 4.2.1, 4.3.x before 4.3.2, and 5.x before 5.1.2 allows attackers to bypass Java Security Manager (JSM) restrictions and execute restricted reflection calls via a crafted application.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - ReflectionHelper (org.hibernate.validator.util.ReflectionHelper) in Hibernate Validator 4.1.0 before
    4.2.1, 4.3.x before 4.3.2, and 5.x before 5.1.2 allows attackers to bypass Java Security Manager (JSM)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2014:1287 advisory.

    Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java     applications based on JBoss Application Server 7.

    It was discovered that the implementation of     org.hibernate.validator.util.ReflectionHelper together with the permissions     required to run Hibernate Validator under the Java Security Manager could     allow a malicious application deployed in the same application container to     execute several actions with escalated privileges, which might otherwise     not be possible. This flaw could be used to perform various attacks,     including but not restricted to, arbitrary code execution in systems that     are otherwise secured by the Java Security Manager. (CVE-2014-3558)

    This release of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform also includes bug     fixes and enhancements. A list of these changes is available     from the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.1 Downloads page on     the Customer Portal.

    All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3 on Red Hat     Enterprise Linux 7 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.
