RHEL 6 : Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.3 update (Low) (RHSA-2014:0563)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 74206

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0563 advisory.

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

It was found that the security auditing functionality provided by PicketBox and JBossSX, both security frameworks for Java applications, used a world-readable audit.log file to record sensitive information. A local user could possibly use this flaw to gain access to the sensitive information in the audit.log file. (CVE-2014-0059)

This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.2, and includes bug fixes and enhancements.
Documentation for these changes will be available shortly from the Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.3 Release Notes, linked to in the References.

All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 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.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
