high Nessus Plugin ID 63931

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2010:0379 advisory.

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is the market leading platform for innovative and scalable Java applications; integrating the JBoss Application Server, with JBoss Hibernate and JBoss Seam into a complete, simple enterprise solution.

This release of JBEAP for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 serves as a replacement to JBEAP 4.3.0.CP07.

These updated packages include multiple bug fixes which are detailed in the Release Notes. The Release Notes will be available shortly from the link in the References section.

The following security issues are also fixed with this release:

The JMX Console configuration only specified an authentication requirement for requests that used the GET and POST HTTP verbs. A remote attacker could create an HTTP request that does not specify GET or POST, causing it to be executed by the default GET handler without authentication. This release contains a JMX Console with an updated configuration that no longer specifies the HTTP verbs. This means that the authentication requirement is applied to all requests. (CVE-2010-0738)

For the CVE-2010-0738 issue, if an immediate upgrade is not possible or the server deployment has been customized, a manual fix can be applied. Refer to the Security subsection of the Issues fixed in this release section (JBPAPP-3952) of the JBEAP Release Notes, linked to in the References, for details. Contact Red Hat JBoss Support for advice before making the changes noted in the Release Notes.

Red Hat would like to thank Stefano Di Paola and Giorgio Fedon of Minded Security for responsibly reporting the CVE-2010-0738 issue.

Unauthenticated access to the JBoss Application Server Web Console (/web-console) is blocked by default. However, it was found that this block was incomplete, and only blocked GET and POST HTTP verbs. A remote attacker could use this flaw to gain access to sensitive information. This release contains a Web Console with an updated configuration that now blocks all unauthenticated access to it by default. (CVE-2010-1428)

The RHSA-2008:0828 update fixed an issue (CVE-2008-3273) where unauthenticated users were able to access the status servlet; however, a bug fix included in the RHSA-2009:0349 update re-introduced the issue. A remote attacker could use this flaw to acquire details about deployed web contexts. (CVE-2010-1429)

Warning: Before applying this update, please backup the JBEAP server/[configuration]/deploy/ directory, and any other customized configuration files.

All users of JBEAP 4.3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.

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.
