Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.1.0 security update

Notes

Topic
An update for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.1.0 that fixes two 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 Web Server is a fully integrated and certified set of components for hosting Java web applications. It is comprised of the Apache HTTP Server, the Apache Tomcat Servlet container, Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk), JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), Hibernate, and the Tomcat Native library. A flaw was found in the way the mod_cluster manager processed certain MCMP messages. An attacker with access to the network from which MCMP messages are allowed to be sent could use this flaw to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the mod_cluster manager web interface. (CVE-2015-0298) It was discovered that a JkUnmount rule for a subtree of a previous JkMount rule could be ignored. This could allow a remote attacker to potentially access a private artifact in a tree that would otherwise not be accessible to them. (CVE-2014-8111) All users of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.1.0 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this update. The Red Hat JBoss Web Server process must be restarted for the update to take effect.
