DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for jboss-seam2. This fixes a
vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input sanitisation error in the
processing of certain parametrised JBoss Expression Language (EL)
expressions. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on an
affected system e.g. if a logged-in JBoss Seam user visits a
specially crafted web page.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
