Topic

An updated xml-security package that fixes one security issue is now
available for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.2.0 for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, and 6.

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

Apache Santuario implements the XML Signature Syntax and Processing and XML
Encryption Syntax and Processing standards.

A flaw was found in the way Apache Santuario XML Security for Java
validated XML signatures. Santuario allowed a signature to specify an
arbitrary canonicalization algorithm, which would be applied to the
SignedInfo XML fragment. A remote attacker could exploit this to spoof an
XML signature via a specially-crafted XML signature block. (CVE-2013-2172)

Warning: Before applying this update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform installation (including all applications
and configuration files).

All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.2.0 on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4, 5, and 6 are advised to upgrade to this updated
package. The JBoss server process must be restarted for the update to take
effect.
