From CVE.org
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) before 6.1.0 and JBoss Portal before 6.1.0 does not load the implementation of a custom authorization module for a new application when an implementation is already loaded and the modules share class names, which allows local users to control certain applications' authorization decisions via a crafted application.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
