RHEL 5 : Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.18 (RHSA-2017:3216)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 194033

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.18.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:3216 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 6.4.18 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.17, 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 while parsing the SAML messages the StaxParserUtil class of Picketlink replaces special strings for obtaining attribute values with system property. This could allow an attacker to determine values of system properties at the attacked system by formatting the SAML request ID field to be the chosen system property which could be obtained in the InResponseTo field in the response.
(CVE-2017-2582)

This issue was discovered by Hynek Mlnarik (Red Hat).

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

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

Solution

Update the RHEL Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.18 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2017:3216.
