Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: jboss-ec2-eap security update

Notes

Topic
An updated jboss-ec2-eap package that fixes one security issue is now available for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low 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-ec2-eap provides JBoss Operations Network (JBoss ON) scripts for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). It was found that the "/var/cache/jboss-ec2-eap/" directory had world readable permissions when using the EC2 AMI (Amazon Machine Image) for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. A local attacker could use this flaw to read potentially sensitive information from this directory, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials. (CVE-2012-3427) Note: This flaw only affected the EC2 AMI for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2. This issue was discovered by Aleksandar Kostadinov of the Red Hat QE Team. Warning: Before applying this update, back up your JBoss Enterprise Application Platform's "server/[PROFILE]/deploy/" directory, along with all other customized configuration files. Users of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 running on EC2 should upgrade to this updated package, which corrects this issue. The JBoss server process must be restarted for this update to take effect.
