Topic

Updated jboss-ec2-eap packages that fix three security issues, several
bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.4 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security
impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give
detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the
CVE links in the References section.

Description

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java
applications based on JBoss Application Server 7.

It was discovered that sending requests containing large headers to the Web
Console produced a Java OutOfMemoryError in the HTTP management interface.
An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2015-5220)

It was discovered that the EAP Management Console could be opened in an
IFRAME, which made it possible to intercept and manipulate requests.
An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into performing arbitrary
actions in the Console (clickjacking). (CVE-2015-5178)

Note: Resolving this issue required a change in the way http requests are
sent in the Console; this change may affect users. See the Release Notes
linked to in the References section for details about this change.

It was discovered that when uploading a file using a multipart/form-data
submission to the EAP Web Console, the Console was vulnerable to Cross-Site
Request Forgery (CSRF). This meant that an attacker could use the flaw
together with a forgery attack to make changes to an authenticated
instance. (CVE-2015-5188)

The CVE-2015-5220 issue was discovered by Aaron Ogburn of Red Hat GSS
Middleware Team, and the CVE-2015-5188 issue was discovered by Jason Greene
of the Red Hat Middleware Engineering Team.

  • The jboss-ec2-eap packages provide scripts for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise

Application Platform running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic
Compute Cloud (EC2). With this update, the packages have been updated to
ensure compatibility with Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
6.4.4. Documentation for these changes is available from the link in the
References section.

All jboss-ec2-eap users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
6.4 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages. The JBoss server process must be restarted for the update to
take effect.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied. Also, make sure to back up any
modified configuration files, deployments, and all user data.
After applying the update, restart the instance of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform for the changes to take effect.
