Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: JBoss Enterprise BRMS Platform 5.3.1 update

Notes

Topic
JBoss Enterprise BRMS Platform 5.3.1 roll up patch 1, which fixes two security issues 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. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
Details
JBoss Enterprise BRMS Platform is a business rules management system for the management, storage, creation, modification, and deployment of JBoss Rules. This roll up patch serves as a cumulative upgrade for JBoss Enterprise BRMS Platform 5.3.1. It includes various bug fixes. The following security issues are also fixed with this release: If web services were deployed using Apache CXF with the WSS4JInInterceptor enabled to apply WS-Security processing, HTTP GET requests to these services were always granted access, without applying authentication checks. The URIMappingInterceptor is a legacy mechanism for allowing REST-like access (via GET requests) to simple SOAP services. A remote attacker could use this flaw to access the REST-like interface of a simple SOAP service using GET requests that bypass the security constraints applied by WSS4JInInterceptor. This flaw was only exploitable if WSS4JInInterceptor was used to apply WS-Security processing. Services that use WS-SecurityPolicy to apply security were not affected. (CVE-2012-5633) It was found that Apache CXF was vulnerable to SOAPAction spoofing attacks under certain conditions. If web services were exposed via Apache CXF that use a unique SOAPAction for each service operation, then a remote attacker could perform SOAPAction spoofing to call a forbidden operation if it accepts the same parameters as an allowed operation. WS-Policy validation was performed against the operation being invoked, and an attack must pass validation to be successful. (CVE-2012-3451) Red Hat would like to thank the Apache CXF project for reporting the CVE-2012-3451 issue. Warning: Before applying the update, back up your existing JBoss Enterprise BRMS Platform installation (including its databases, applications, configuration files, and so on). All users of JBoss Enterprise BRMS Platform 5.3.1 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this roll up patch.
