Get requests in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 7 disclose internal IP addresses to remote attackers.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:3455 advisory.

    Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is a platform for Java applications based on the JBoss     Application Server.

    This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.1.0 serves as a replacement for Red Hat     JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.0, and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are documented     in the Release Notes document linked to in the References.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A Denial of Service can be caused when a long request is sent to EAP 7. (CVE-2016-7046)

    * The jboss init script unsafe file handling resulting in local privilege escalation. (CVE-2016-8656)

    * A deserialization vulnerability via readValue method of ObjectMapper which allows arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2017-7525)

    * JMSObjectMessage deserializes potentially malicious objects allowing Remote Code Execution.
    (CVE-2016-4978)

    * Undertow is vulnerable to the injection of arbitrary HTTP headers, and also response splitting.
    (CVE-2016-4993)

    * The domain controller will not propagate its administrative RBAC configuration to some slaves leading to     escalate their privileges. (CVE-2016-5406)

    * Internal IP address disclosed on redirect when request header Host field is not set. (CVE-2016-6311)

    * Potential EAP resource starvation DOS attack via GET requests for server log files. (CVE-2016-8627)

    * Inefficient Header Cache could cause denial of service. (CVE-2016-9589)

    * The log file viewer allows arbitrary file read to authenticated user via path traversal. (CVE-2017-2595)

    * HTTP Request smuggling vulnerability due to permitting invalid characters in HTTP requests.
    (CVE-2017-2666)

    * Websocket non clean close can cause IO thread to get stuck in a loop. (CVE-2017-2670)

    * Privilege escalation with security manager's reflective permissions when granted to Hibernate Validator.
    (CVE-2017-7536)

    * Potential http request smuggling as Undertow parses the http headers with unusual whitespaces.
    (CVE-2017-7559)

    * Properties based files of the management and the application realm are world readable allowing access to     users and roles information to all the users logged in to the system. (CVE-2017-12167)

    * RBAC configuration allows users with a Monitor role to view the sensitive information. (CVE-2016-7061)

    * Improper whitespace parsing leading to potential HTTP request smuggling. (CVE-2017-12165)

    Red Hat would like to thank Liao Xinxi (NSFOCUS) for reporting CVE-2017-7525; Calum Hutton (NCC Group) and     Mikhail Egorov (Odin) for reporting CVE-2016-4993; Luca Bueti for reporting CVE-2016-6311; Gabriel Lavoie     (Halogen Software) for reporting CVE-2016-9589; and Gregory Ramsperger and Ryan Moak for reporting     CVE-2017-2670. The CVE-2016-5406 issue was discovered by Tomaz Cerar (Red Hat); the CVE-2016-8627 issue     was discovered by Darran Lofthouse (Red Hat) and Brian Stansberry (Red Hat); the CVE-2017-2666 issue was     discovered by Radim Hatlapatka (Red Hat); the CVE-2017-7536 issue was discovered by Gunnar Morling (Red     Hat); the CVE-2017-7559 and CVE-2017-12165 issues were discovered by Stuart Douglas (Red Hat); and the     CVE-2017-12167 issue was discovered by Brian Stansberry (Red Hat) and Jeremy Choi (Red Hat). Upstream     acknowledges WildFly as the original reporter of CVE-2016-6311.
