RHEL 5 : jboss-remoting (RHSA-2010:0964)

high Nessus Plugin ID 63965

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for jboss-remoting.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2010:0964 advisory.

JBoss Remoting is a framework for building distributed applications in Java.

The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3.0.CP09 updates RHSA-2010:0937 and RHSA-2010:0938 did not, unlike the errata texts stated, provide a fix for CVE-2010-3862. A remote attacker could use specially-crafted input to cause the JBoss Remoting listeners to become unresponsive, resulting in a denial of service condition for services communicating via JBoss Remoting sockets. (CVE-2010-4265)

Red Hat would like to thank Ole Husgaard of eXerp.com for reporting this issue.

Warning: Before applying this update, backup your existing JBoss Enterprise Application Platform installation (including all applications and configuration files).

Users of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. The JBoss server process must be restarted for this 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 RHEL jboss-remoting package based on the guidance in RHSA-2010:0964.
