Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: jbossas security update

Notes

Topic
An update for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 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
The Java Authorization Contract for Containers (Java ACC) specification defines Permission classes and the binding of container access decisions to operations on instances of these permission classes. JaccAuthorizationRealm performs authorization based on Java ACC permissions and a Policy implementation. When a JBoss server is configured to use JaccAuthorizationRealm, the WebPermissionMapping class creates permissions that are not checked and can permit access to users without checking their roles. If the ignoreBaseDecision property is set to true on JBossWebRealm, the web authorization process is handled exclusively by JBossAuthorizationEngine, without any input from JBoss Web. This allows any valid user to access an application, without needing to be assigned the role specified in the application's web.xml "security-constraint" tag. (CVE-2012-1167) Warning: Before applying this update, back up your JBoss Enterprise Application Platform's "jboss-as/server/[PROFILE]/deploy/" directory, along with all other customized configuration files. All users of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to install this update.
