An information disclosure vulnerability was found in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform before 7.0.4. It was discovered that when configuring RBAC and marking information as sensitive, users with a Monitor role are able to view the sensitive information.

An update is now available for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4 for RHEL 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

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

This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.13 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.12, and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the References.

Security Fix(es) :

* It was discovered that the jboss init script performed unsafe file handling which could result in local privilege escalation.
(CVE-2016-8656)

* It was discovered that the code that parsed the HTTP request line permitted invalid characters. This could be exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that also permitted the invalid characters but with a different interpretation, to inject data into the HTTP response. By manipulating the HTTP response the attacker could poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack and/or obtain sensitive information from requests other then their own. (CVE-2016-6816)

* An EAP feature to download server log files allows logs to be available via GET requests making them vulnerable to cross-origin attacks. An attacker could trigger the user's browser to request the log files consuming enough resources that normal server functioning could be impaired. (CVE-2016-8627)

* It was discovered that when configuring RBAC and marking information as sensitive, users with a Monitor role are able to view the sensitive information. (CVE-2016-7061)

The CVE-2016-8627 issue was discovered by Darran Lofthouse (Red Hat) and Brian Stansberry (Red Hat).

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0173 advisory.

  - EAP: Sensitive data can be exposed at the server level in domain mode (CVE-2016-7061)

  - admin-cli: Potential EAP resource starvation DOS attack via GET requests for server log files     (CVE-2016-8627)

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

  - undertow: improper whitespace parsing leading to potential HTTP request smuggling (CVE-2017-12165)

  - EAP-7: Wrong privileges on multiple property files (CVE-2017-12167)

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