RHEL 5 : Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.1 update (Low) (RHSA-2014:1286)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 77827

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2014:1286 advisory.

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

It was discovered that the implementation of org.hibernate.validator.util.ReflectionHelper together with the permissions required to run Hibernate Validator under the Java Security Manager could allow a malicious application deployed in the same application container to execute several actions with escalated privileges, which might otherwise not be possible. This flaw could be used to perform various attacks, including but not restricted to, arbitrary code execution in systems that are otherwise secured by the Java Security Manager. (CVE-2014-3558)

This release of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform also includes bug fixes and enhancements. A list of these changes is available from the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.1 Downloads page on the Customer Portal.

All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3 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.

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.
