    This asynchronous patch is a security update for lucene package in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application     Platform 7.0.8.

    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.
