CVE-2016-3737

Description

It was discovered that sending specially crafted HTTP request to the JON server would allow deserialization of that message without authentication. An attacker could use this flaw to cause remote code execution.

Statement

It is not feasible to correct this issue with a code change as client SSL certificates need to be created in order to support client authentication. The installation documentation notes how to mitigate this through the creation of certificates to support SSL authentication. This mitigation is the best way to correct this issue and, as a result, we will not be releasing any patches to correct the issue.

Mitigation

Apply the configuration changes described in the documentation here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_JBoss_Operations_Network/3.3/html/Admin_and_Config/JBoss_ON_and_SSL-Authentication.html

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).

The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
