-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:0247-01 Product: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017-0247.html Issue date: 2017-02-02 CVE Names: CVE-2016-6816 CVE-2016-7061 CVE-2016-8627 CVE-2016-8656 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: An update is now available for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. 2. Description: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.13 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.12, 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 the jboss init script performed unsafe file handling which could result in local privilege escalation. (CVE-2016-8656) * 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 and/or obtain sensitive information from requests other then their own. (CVE-2016-6816) * An EAP feature to download server log files allows logs to be available via GET requests making them vulnerable to cross-origin attacks. An attacker could trigger the user's browser to request the log files consuming enough resources that normal server functioning could be impaired. (CVE-2016-8627) * It was discovered that when configuring RBAC and marking information as sensitive, users with a Monitor role are able to view the sensitive information. (CVE-2016-7061) The CVE-2016-8627 issue was discovered by Darran Lofthouse and Brian Stansberry (Red Hat). 3. Solution: Before applying this update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform installation and deployed applications.
