Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 3.1.0 Service Pack 4.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2469 advisory.

Red Hat JBoss Web Server is a fully integrated and certified set of components for hosting Java web applications. It is comprised of the Apache HTTP Server, the Apache Tomcat Servlet container, Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk), JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), Hibernate, and the Tomcat Native library.

This release of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 3.1 Service Pack 4 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 3.1, and includes bug fixes, which are documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the References.

Security Fix(es):

* tomcat: Insecure defaults in CORS filter enable 'supportsCredentials' for all origins (CVE-2018-8014)

* tomcat-native: Mishandled OCSP invalid response (CVE-2018-8019)

* tomcat-native: Mishandled OCSP responses can allow clients to authenticate with revoked certificates (CVE-2018-8020)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
* OpenSSL (1.0.2n)
* APR (1.6.3)

CVE-2018-8019 and CVE-2018-8020 were discovered by Coty Sutherland (Red Hat).

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

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

Solution

Update the RHEL Red Hat JBoss Web Server 3.1.0 Service Pack 4 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2018:2469.
