Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat JBoss Portal 6.1.1 update

Notes

Topic
Red Hat JBoss Portal 6.1.1, 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 Moderate 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
Red Hat JBoss Portal is the open source implementation of the Java EE suite of services and Portal services running atop Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. This Red Hat JBoss Portal 6.1.1 release serves as a replacement for 6.1.0. Refer to the 6.1.1 Release Notes for further information, available shortly from https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/ It was found that the ParserPool and Decrypter classes in the OpenSAML Java implementation resolved external entities, permitting XML External Entity (XXE) attacks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks. (CVE-2013-6440) It was discovered that the Apache Santuario XML Security for Java project allowed Document Type Definitions (DTDs) to be processed when applying Transforms even when secure validation was enabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on the system, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2013-4517) All users of Red Hat JBoss Portal 6.1.0 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to upgrade to Red Hat JBoss Portal 6.1.1.
