Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.1.1 update

Notes

Topic
JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.1.1, which fixes one security issue and various bugs, 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 Enterprise Portal Platform is the open source implementation of the Java EE suite of services and Portal services running atop JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. It comprises a set of offerings for enterprise customers who are looking for pre-configured profiles of JBoss Enterprise Middleware components that have been tested and certified together to provide an integrated experience. This release of JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.1.1 serves as a replacement to JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.1.0. It includes various bug fixes which are detailed in the Release Notes. The Release Notes will be available shortly from the link in the References section. The following security issue is also fixed with this release: It was found that JBoss Seam 2 did not properly block access to JBoss Expression Language (EL) constructs in page exception handling, allowing arbitrary Java methods to be executed. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code via a specially-crafted URL provided to certain applications based on the JBoss Seam 2 framework. Note: A properly configured and enabled Java Security Manager would prevent exploitation of this flaw. (CVE-2011-1484) If you have created custom applications that are packaged with a copy of the JBoss Seam 2 library, those applications must be rebuilt with the updated jboss-seam.jar file provided by this update. Red Hat would like to thank Martin Kouba from IT SYSTEMS a.s. for reporting CVE-2011-1484. Warning: Before applying this update, back up all applications deployed on JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform, along with all customized configuration files. All users of JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.1.0 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to upgrade to JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.1.1.
