RHEL 7 : JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.5 on RHEL 7 (Important) (RHSA-2017:0832)

high Nessus Plugin ID 112255

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:0832 advisory.

 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 7.0.5 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.4, 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 the jboss init script performed unsafe file handling which could result in local privilege escalation. (CVE-2016-8656)

 * It was found that JBoss EAP 7 Header Cache was inefficient. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service attack. (CVE-2016-9589)

 Red Hat would like to thank Gabriel Lavoie (Halogen Software) for reporting CVE-2016-9589.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
