RHEL 5 : JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.2 update (Low) (RHSA-2011:1803)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 210143

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2011:1803 advisory.

 The Enterprise Web Platform is a slimmed down profile of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform intended for mid-size workloads with light and rich Java applications. OpenID4Java allows you to implement OpenID authentication in your Java applications. OpenID4Java is a Technology Preview.

 This JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.2 release for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 serves as a replacement for JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.1.

 These updated packages include bug fixes and enhancements. JBoss Enterprise Web Platform is a subset of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. Users are directed to the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 Release Notes for information on the most significant of these changes. The Release Notes will be available shortly from https://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/index.html

 The following security issue is also fixed with this release:

 It was found that the Attribute Exchange (AX) extension of OpenID4Java was not checking to ensure attributes were signed. If AX was being used to receive information that an application only trusts the identity provider to assert, a remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks and compromise the integrity of the information via a specially-crafted request. By default, only the JBoss Seam openid example application uses OpenID4Java. (CVE-2011-4314)

 Warning: Before applying this update, back up the jboss-as-web/server/[PROFILE]/deploy/ directory and any other customized configuration files of your JBoss Enterprise Web Platform.

 All users of JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages. The JBoss server process must be restarted for the update to take effect.

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 affected packages.
