New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)

Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it is different from CVSS.

VPR Score: 4.2

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated packages that provide Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.2 and fix two security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

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

It was found that when JBoss Web processed a series of HTTP requests in which at least one request contained either multiple content-length headers, or one content-length header with a chunked transfer-encoding header, JBoss Web would incorrectly handle the request. A remote attacker could use this flaw to poison a web cache, perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, or obtain sensitive information from other requests. (CVE-2013-4286)

It was found that Java Security Manager permissions configured via a policy file were not properly applied, causing all deployed applications to be granted the java.security.AllPermission permission.
In certain cases, an attacker could use this flaw to circumvent expected security measures to perform actions which would otherwise be restricted. (CVE-2014-0093)

The CVE-2014-0093 issue was discovered by Josef Cacek of the Red Hat JBoss EAP Quality Engineering team.

This release serves as an update for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2, and includes bug fixes and enhancements.
Documentation for these changes will be available shortly from the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.2 Release Notes, linked to in the References.

All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages. The JBoss server process must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
