Refer to the 2.5.0 Release Notes for information on the most significant of these changes, available shortly from https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/ This release also fixes the following security issue: It was found that malformed Atmosphere requests caused RichFaces to leak memory. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to send a large number of these requests to a RichFaces application that uses the Atmosphere framework, leading to an out of memory error and a corresponding denial of service on the application server. (CVE-2014-0086) All users of Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.4.0 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to upgrade to Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.5.0.
