Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.2.0 security update

Notes

Topic
An update for JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.2.0 which 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 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
The Enterprise Web Platform is a slimmed down profile of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform intended for mid-size workloads with light and rich Java applications. The GUI installer created a world-readable auto-install XML file containing both the JBoss Enterprise Web Platform administrator password and the sucker password for the selected messaging system in plain text. A local user able to access the directory where the GUI installer for JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.2 was run could use this flaw to gain administrative access to the JBoss Enterprise Web Platform instance. (CVE-2013-0218) Note: This update provides the initial release of the GUI installer for version 5.2.0. Users continuing to use the 5.1.2 installer will remain vulnerable to this issue. This issue was discovered by Arun Neelicattu of the Red Hat Security Response Team. Users requiring the GUI installer for JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.2.0 are advised to apply this update.
