Topic

An updated jasperreports-server-pro package that fixes one security issue
and various bugs is now available.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in
the References section.

Description

JasperReports Server is a reporting server.

A flaw was found in the way the Apache Xerces2 Java Parser processed the
SYSTEM identifier in DTDs. A remote attacker could provide a
specially-crafted XML file, which once parsed by an application using the
Apache Xerces2 Java Parser, would lead to a denial of service (application
hang due to excessive CPU use). (CVE-2009-2625)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

  • Adding a user to any ROLE caused an unexpected exception. (BZ#730712)
  • Previously, the jasperreports-server-pro RPM spec file contained the

"%{dist}" tag on the "Release" line. To comply with the packaging and
naming guidelines, the tag has been changed to "%{?dist}" with this update.
(BZ#868927)

  • In some cases reports were opened with an incorrect list of

Entity/Entities. (BZ#842687)

Note: The jasperreports-server-pro package replaces rhevm-reports-server
from Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.0.

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these
issues.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
