Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: jboss-remoting security update

Notes

Topic
An update for the JBoss Remoting component of Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform 5.3.1 GA 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
JBoss Remoting is a framework for building distributed applications in Java. A denial of service flaw was found in the implementation of the org.jboss.remoting.transport.socket.ServerThread class in JBoss Remoting. An attacker could use this flaw to exhaust all available file descriptors on the target server, preventing legitimate connections. Note that to exploit this flaw remotely, the remoting port must be exposed directly or indirectly (for example, deploying a public facing application that uses JBoss Remoting could indirectly expose this flaw). (CVE-2013-4210) This issue was discovered by James Livingston of the Red Hat Support Engineering Group. All users of Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform 5.3.1 GA as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this update.
