RESTEasy enables GZIPInterceptor, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - RESTEasy: Insufficient use of random values in RESTEasy async jobs could lead to loss of data     confidentiality (CVE-2016-6345)

  - RESTEasy: Use of JacksonJsonpInterceptor in RESTEasy can lead to Cross Site Script Inclusion attack     (CVE-2016-6348)

  - RESTEasy enables GZIPInterceptor, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via     unspecified vectors. (CVE-2016-6346)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:1222 advisory.

An update is now available for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4 for RHEL 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7.

This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.14 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.13, and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the References.

Security Fix(es) :

* It was discovered that EAP packages in certain versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux use incorrect permissions for /etc/sysconfig/jbossas configuration files. The file is writable to jboss group (root:jboss, 664). On systems using classic /etc/init.d init scripts (i.e. on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and earlier), the file is sourced by the jboss init script and its content executed with root privileges when jboss service is started, stopped, or restarted. (CVE-2016-8657)

* It was discovered that a programming error in the processing of HTTPS requests in the Apache Tomcat servlet and JSP engine may result in denial of service via an infinite loop. (CVE-2017-6056)

* It was found that GZIPInterceptor is enabled when not necessarily required in RESTEasy. An attacker could use this flaw to launch a Denial of Service attack. (CVE-2016-6346)

Red Hat would like to thank Mikhail Egorov (Odin) for reporting the CVE-2016-6346 issue.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2018:0004 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 7.0.9 serves as a replacement for Red Hat     JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.8, and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are documented     in the Release Notes document linked to in the References.

    Security Fix(es):

    * It was found that Apache Lucene would accept an object from an unauthenticated user that could be     manipulated through subsequent post requests. An attacker could use this flaw to assemble an object that     could permit execution of arbitrary code if the server enabled Apache Solr's Config API. (CVE-2017-12629)

    * It was discovered that the jboss init script performed unsafe file handling which could result in local     privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-12189)

    * It was found that GZIPInterceptor is enabled when not necessarily required in RESTEasy. An attacker     could use this flaw to launch a Denial of Service attack. (CVE-2016-6346)

    * It was found that the fix for CVE-2017-2666 was incomplete and invalid characters are still allowed in     the query string and path parameters. This could be exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that also     permitted the invalid characters but with a different interpretation, to inject data into the HTTP     response. By manipulating the HTTP response the attacker could poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack,     or obtain sensitive information from requests other than their own. (CVE-2017-7559)

    * It was discovered that the CORS Filter did not add an HTTP Vary header indicating that the response     varies depending on Origin. This permitted client and server side cache poisoning in some circumstances.
    (CVE-2017-7561)

    * It was found that properties based files of the management and the application realm configuration that     contain user to role mapping are world readable allowing access to users and roles information to all the     users logged in to the system. (CVE-2017-12167)

    * It was discovered that Undertow processes http request headers with unusual whitespaces which can cause     possible http request smuggling. (CVE-2017-12165)

    Red Hat would like to thank Mikhail Egorov (Odin) for reporting CVE-2016-6346. The CVE-2017-7559 and     CVE-2017-12165 issues were discovered by Stuart Douglas (Red Hat); the CVE-2017-7561 issue was discovered     by Jason Shepherd (Red Hat Product Security); and the CVE-2017-12167 issue was discovered by Brian     Stansberry (Red Hat) and Jeremy Choi (Red Hat).
