Description

Red Hat Decision Manager is an open source decision management platform that combines business rules management, complex event processing, Decision Model & Notation (DMN) execution, and business optimization for solving planning problems. It automates business decisions and makes that logic available to the entire business.

This asynchronous security patch is an update to Red Hat Decision Manager 7.

Security Fix(es):

  • spring-webmvc: spring-framework: RCE via Data Binding on JDK 9+ (CVE-2022-22965)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Solution

A Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux application running on JDK 9 and above might be vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) via data binding. The specific exploit requires the application to run on Tomcat as a WAR deployment.

This release upgrades Spring to 5.3.18 and Spring Boot to 2.6.6 which fixes the Spring MVC and WebFlux jars.

For on-premise installations, before applying the update, back up your existing installation, including all applications, configuration files, databases and database settings, and so on.

It is recommended to halt the server by stopping the JBoss Application Server process before installing this update; after installing the update, restart the server by starting the JBoss Application Server process.
