A patch for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2.0.CP09, 4.3.0.CP09, and 5.1 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 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.
Details
JBoss Web Server is the web container, based on Apache Tomcat, in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. It provides a single deployment platform for the JavaServer Pages (JSP) and Java Servlet technologies. A denial of service flaw was found in the way certain strings were converted to Double objects. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause JBoss Web Server to hang via a specially-crafted HTTP request. (CVE-2010-4476) All users of Enterprise Application Platform 4.2, 4.3, and 5.1 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this patch. Refer to the Solution section of this erratum for patch download instructions. The JBoss server process must be restarted for this update to take effect.
