RHSA-2008:0158 - Security Advisory

Synopsis

Moderate: JBoss Enterprise Application Platform security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Moderate

Topic

Updated JBoss Enterprise Application Platform packages that fix several
security issues and bugs are now available for Red Hat Application Stack v1
and v2.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.

Description

JBEAP is a middleware platform for Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition
(J2EE) applications.

This release of JBEAP for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 contains the JBoss
Application Server and JBoss Seam. This release serves as a replacement to
JBEAP 4.2.0.GA.

The updated packages address the following security vulnerabilities:

  • the JFreeChart component was vulnerable to multiple cross-site scripting

(XSS) vulnerabilities. An attacker could misuse the image map feature to
inject arbitrary web script or HTML via several attributes of the chart
area. (CVE-2007-6306)

  • a vulnerability caused by exposing static java methods was located within

the HSQLDB component. This could be utilized by an attacker to execute
arbitrary static java methods. (CVE-2007-4575)

  • the setOrder method in the org.jboss.seam.framework.Query class did not

properly validate user-supplied parameters. This vulnerability allowed
remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary EJBQL commands via the
order parameter. (CVE-2007-6433)

All users are advised to upgrade to this release of JBEAP, which addresses
these vulnerabilities.
