Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: mod_cluster security update
Notes
Topic
An update for JBoss Enterprise Web Server 1.0.2 that fixes one security
issue is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
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.
Details
mod_cluster is an Apache HTTP Server (httpd) based load balancer that
forwards requests from httpd to application server nodes. It can use the
AJP, HTTP, or HTTPS protocols for communication with application server
nodes.
The RHSA-2012:0036 update for JBoss Enterprise Web Server 1.0.2 introduced
a regression, causing mod_cluster to register and expose the root context
of a server by default, even when "ROOT" was in the "excludedContexts" list
in the mod_cluster configuration. If an application was deployed on the
root context, a remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended
access restrictions and gain access to that application. (CVE-2012-1154)
Warning: Before applying the update, back up your existing JBoss Enterprise
Web Server installation (including all applications and configuration
files).
All users of JBoss Enterprise Web Server 1.0.2 as provided from the Red Hat
Customer Portal are advised to apply this update.
