CVE-2016-9585

Description

It was found that the JMX endpoint of Red Hat JBoss EAP 5 deserializes the credentials passed to it. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.

   com.sun.management.jmxremote.port=<portNum>

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.
