Synopsis

Description

An updated jakarta-commons-fileupload package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 1.0.2 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

The Apache Commons FileUpload component can be used to add a file upload capability to your applications.

A flaw was found in the way the DiskFileItem class handled NULL characters in file names. A remote attacker able to supply a serialized instance of the DiskFileItem class, which will be deserialized on a server, could use this flaw to write arbitrary content to any location on the server that is accessible to the user running the application server process. (CVE-2013-2186)

Warning: Before applying the update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Server installation (including all applications and configuration files).
