Security fixes :

Cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the mod_info, mod_status, mod_imagemap, mod_ldap, and mod_proxy_ftp modules. An attacker could possibly use these flaws to perform XSS attacks if they were able to make the victim's browser generate an HTTP request with a specially crafted Host header. (CVE-2012-3499)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the mod_proxy_balancer module's manager web interface. If a remote attacker could trick a user, who was logged into the manager web interface, into visiting a specially crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the user's manager interface session.
(CVE-2012-4558)

A flaw was found in the way the mod_dav module handled merge requests.
An attacker could use this flaw to send a crafted merge request that contains URIs that are not configured for DAV, causing the httpd child process to crash. (CVE-2013-1896)

A flaw was found in the way Apache Santuario XML Security for Java validated XML signatures. Santuario allowed a signature to specify an arbitrary canonicalization algorithm, which would be applied to the SignedInfo XML fragment. A remote attacker could exploit this to spoof an XML signature via a specially crafted XML signature block.
(CVE-2013-2172)

It was found that mod_rewrite did not filter terminal escape sequences from its log file. If mod_rewrite was configured with the RewriteLog directive, a remote attacker could use specially crafted HTTP requests to inject terminal escape sequences into the mod_rewrite log file. If a victim viewed the log file with a terminal emulator, it could result in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of that user.
(CVE-2013-1862)

The data file used by PicketBox Vault to store encrypted passwords contains a copy of its own admin key. The file is encrypted using only this admin key, not the corresponding JKS key. A local attacker with permission to read the vault data file could read the admin key from the file, and use it to decrypt the file and read the stored passwords in clear text. (CVE-2013-1921)

A flaw was found in JGroup's DiagnosticsHandler that allowed an attacker on an adjacent network to reuse the credentials from a previous successful authentication. This could be exploited to read diagnostic information (information disclosure) and attain limited remote code execution. (CVE-2013-4112)

Warning: Before applying this update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform installation and deployed applications. Refer to the Solution section for further details.

All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.1.0 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.

The version of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform installed on the remote system is affected by the following issues :

  - Flaws in the mod_info, mod_status, mod_imagemap,     mod_ldap, and mod_proxy_ftp modules can allow an     attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
    (CVE-2012-3499)

  - Flaws in the web interface of the mod_proxy_balancer     module can allow a remote attacker to perform XSS     attacks. (CVE-2012-4558)

  - A flaw in mod_rewrite can allow remote attackers to     execute arbitrary commands via an HTTP request     containing an escape sequence for a terminal emulator.
    (CVE-2013-1862)

  - A flaw in the method by which the mod_dav module     handles merge requests can allow an attacker to create     a denial of service by sending a crafted merge request     that contains URIs that are not configured for DAV.
    (CVE-2013-1896)

  - A flaw in PicketBox can allow local users to obtain the     admin encryption key by reading the Vault data file.
    (CVE-2013-1921)

  - A flaw in Apache Santuario XML Security can allow     context-dependent attackers to spoof an XML Signature     by using the CanonicalizationMethod parameter to     specify an arbitrary weak algorithm. (CVE-2013-2172)

  - A flaw in JGroup's DiagnosticsHandler can allow remote     attackers to obtain sensitive information and execute     arbitrary code by re-using valid credentials.
    (CVE-2013-4112)

The version of JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform on the remote system is affected by the following issues:

  - A flaw in CSRF prevention filter in JBoss Web could allow     remote attackers to bypass the cross-site request forgery     (CSRF) protection mechanism via a request that lacks a     session identifier. (CVE-2012-4431)

  - A flaw that occurs when the COOKIE session tracking     method is used can allow attackers to hijack users'     sessions. (CVE-2012-4529)

  - A flaw that occurs when multiple applications use the     same custom authorization module class name can allow a     local attacker to deploy a malicious application that     overrides the custom authorization modules provided by     other applications. (CVE-2012-4572)

  - The framework does not verify that a specified     cryptographic algorithm is allowed by the     WS-SecurityPolicy AlgorithmSuite definition before     decrypting.  This can allow remote attackers to force     the system to use weaker cryptographic algorithms than     intended and makes it easier to decrypt communications.
    (CVE-2012-5575)

  - A flaw in PicketBox can allow local users to obtain the     admin encryption key by reading the Vault data file.
    (CVE-2013-1921)
