Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: RHAPS security and enhancement update

Notes

Topic
Red Hat Application Server Release 2 Update 1 is now available. This update contains an upgrade of several RHAPS components to newer releases, including JOnAS 4.6.3, Tomcat 5.5.12 and Struts 1.2.8. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
Details
Red Hat Application Server packages provide a J2EE Application Server and Web container as well as the underlying Java stack. A denial of service flaw was found in the way Apache Tomcat displays directory listings. A remote attacker could cause Tomcat to consume large amounts of CPU resources by sending multiple requests for a directory containing a large number of files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2005-3510 to this issue. This update contains a version of Apache Tomcat that will recover after the aforementioned attack. Users are also advised to disable directory listing for web directories that contain very large numbers of files. A cross-site scripting flaw was found in the way Struts displays error pages. It may be possible for an attacker to construct a specially crafted URL which could fool a victim into believing they are viewing a trusted site. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2005-3745 to this issue. Please note that this issue does not affect Struts running on Tomcat or JOnAS, which is our supported usage of Struts. Additionally, this update replaces some other outdated packages with new versions. Several bug fixes and enhancements are included in these new versions. IMPORTANT: Before applying this update, read the detailed installation/upgrade instructions in the RELEASE_NOTES document. All users of Red Hat Application Server should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain packages that are not vulnerable to these issues.

Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.\n\nIMPORTANT: For this errata, use the \u0027up2date\u0027 command (with no arguments).\nDO NOT partially upgrade the packages for this errata as this can result\nin a non-consistent set of packages being installed.\n\nThe update will cause applications to be undeployed from the server.\nRedeploy all desired applications after the upgrade -- rerun GenIC for\nfaster deployment by the server as it will not have to replace stubs\nfrom the previous version on the fly.\n\nThe \u0027jeremie\u0027 protocol option for the JOnAS J2EE Application Server is now\ndeprecated and unsupported. If your JOnAS server is using the \u0027jeremie\u0027\nprotocol option, make sure you change the configuration to use the \u0027jrmp\u0027\nprotocol instead before restarting the server. A server configured to use\nthe \u0027jeremie\u0027 protocol may not function properly after the upgrade.",
