JBoss RESTEasy before version 3.1.2 could be forced into parsing a request with YamlProvider, resulting in unmarshalling of potentially untrusted data which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with RESTEasy application permissions.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - JBoss RESTEasy before version 3.1.2 could be forced into parsing a request with YamlProvider, resulting in     unmarshalling of potentially untrusted data which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with     RESTEasy application permissions. (CVE-2016-9606)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:1411 advisory.

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

    This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.6 serves as a replacement for Red Hat     JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.5, 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 under certain conditions RESTEasy could be forced to parse a request with     YamlProvider, resulting in unmarshalling of potentially untrusted data. An attacker could possibly use     this flaw execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application using RESTEasy. (CVE-2016-9606)

    * It was found that the log file viewer in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application 6 and 7 allows arbitrary     file read to authenticated user via path traversal. (CVE-2017-2595)

    * 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, or obtain sensitive information from requests     other than their own. (CVE-2017-2666)

    * It was found that with non-clean TCP close, Websocket server gets into infinite loop on every IO thread,     effectively causing DoS. (CVE-2017-2670)

    Red Hat would like to thank Moritz Bechler (AgNO3 GmbH & Co. KG) for reporting CVE-2016-9606 and Gregory     Ramsperger and Ryan Moak for reporting CVE-2017-2670. The CVE-2017-2666 issue was discovered by Radim     Hatlapatka (Red Hat).
