Statement

This flaw affects Apache CXF (WSS4J) and jbossws-native as shipped with various JBoss products. It does not affect JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 and JBoss Application Server 7.1.1 and above. These products include WSS4J 1.6.5, which incorporates a fix for this flaw. On affected products, this flaw can be mitigated by using the RSA-OAEP key wrap algorithm, instead of the default RSA-v1.5 algorithm. To use RSA-OAEP, edit the jboss-ws-security configuration file and add the property keyWrapAlgorithm="rsa_oaep" to the encrypt element.
