Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.2 security update

Notes

Topic
An update for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.2 that fixes three security issues is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal. Red Hat Product Security 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
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. It was discovered that the Apache CXF incorrectly extracted the host name from an X.509 certificate subject's Common Name (CN) field. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server using a specially crafted X.509 certificate. (CVE-2012-6153, CVE-2014-3577) It was found that Apache WSS4J (Web Services Security for Java), as used by Apache CXF with the TransportBinding, did not, by default, properly enforce all security requirements associated with SAML SubjectConfirmation methods. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform various types of spoofing attacks on web service endpoints secured by WSS4j that rely on SAML for authentication. (CVE-2014-3623) The CVE-2012-6153 issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of Red Hat Product Security. All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.2 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this update. The JBoss server process must be restarted for the update to take effect.
