Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: jbossws security update

Notes

Topic
Updated jbossws-client.jar, jbossws-common.jar, jbossws-core.jar, and jbossws-native-core.jar files for JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 4.2.CP05, 4.3.CP05, and 5.1.0 that fix one security issue are 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 Services Native is a web service framework included as part of JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform. It implements the JAX-WS specification. It was found that JBoss Web Services Native did not properly protect against recursive entity resolution when processing Document Type Definitions (DTD). A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by sending a specially-crafted HTTP POST request to a deployed web service, causing excessive CPU and memory consumption on the system hosting that service. If the attack is repeated to consume all available network sockets, the server will become unavailable. (CVE-2011-1483) All users of JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 4.2.CP05, 4.3.CP05, and 5.1.0 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to install this update.
