Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.2.0 security update

Notes

Topic
An update for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.2.0 that provides a patch to mitigate the CVE-2014-3566 issue is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact.
Details
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Platform is a platform for Java applications, which integrates the JBoss Web Server with JBoss Hibernate and JBoss Seam. This update adds support for the TLS Fallback Signaling Cipher Suite Value (TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV), which can be used to prevent protocol downgrade attacks against applications which re-connect using a lower SSL/TLS protocol version when the initial connection indicating the highest supported protocol version fails. This can prevent a forceful downgrade of the communication to SSL 3.0. The SSL 3.0 protocol was found to be vulnerable to the padding oracle attack when using block cipher suites in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode. This issue is identified as CVE-2014-3566, and also known under the alias POODLE. This SSL 3.0 protocol flaw will not be addressed in a future update; it is recommended that users configure their applications to require at least TLS protocol version 1.0 for secure communication. For additional information about this flaw, see the Knowledgebase article at https://access.redhat.com/articles/1232123 All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.2.0 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.
