Topic

Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6.1.0 2015 roll up patch 3, which fixes
one security issue and various bugs, is now available from the Red Hat

Red Hat Product Security 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

Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization is a lean data integration solution that
provides easy, real-time, and unified data access across disparate sources
to multiple applications and users. JBoss Data Virtualization makes data
spread across physically distinct systems—such as multiple databases, XML
files, and even Hadoop systems—appear as a set of tables in a local
database.

This roll up patch serves as a cumulative upgrade for Red Hat JBoss Data
Virtualization 6.1.0. It includes various bug fixes, which are listed in
the README file included with the patch files.

The following security issue is also fixed with this release:

A flaw was found in the dashbuilder import facility: the DocumentBuilders
instantiated in org.jboss.dashboard.export.ImportManagerImpl did not
disable external entities. This could allow an attacker to perform a
variety of XML External Entity (XXE) and Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
attacks. (CVE-2015-1818)

Red Hat would like to thank David Jorm of IIX Product Security for
reporting the CVE-2015-1818 issue.

All users of Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6.1.0 as provided from the
Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this roll up patch.
