Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0 security update

Notes

Topic
A security update is now available for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. [Updated 6th November 2017] Previously, this erratum was marked as having a security impact of Critical. This was incorrect; Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 was affected with a security impact of Moderate. This advisory has been updated to that effect.
Details
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is a platform for Java applications based on the JBoss Application Server. This asynchronous patch is a security update for lucene package in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.8 Security Fix(es): * It was found that Apache Lucene would accept an object from an unauthenticated user that could be manipulated through subsequent post requests. An attacker could use this flaw to assemble an object that could permit execution of arbitrary code if the server enabled Apache Solr's Config API. (CVE-2017-12629) For more information regarding CVE-2017-12629, see the article linked in the references section.

However, it does ship the vulnerable Lucene class in a dependency to another component. Customers who reuse the lucene-queryparser jar in their applications may be vulnerable to the External Entity Expansion aspect of this flaw. This will be patched in a forthcoming release.\n\nRed Hat JBoss Fuse is not affected by this flaw, as it does not use the vulnerable functionality of either aspect of this flaw. Fuse customers who may be running external Solr servers, while not affected from the Fuse side, are advised to secure their Solr servers as recommended in the mitigation provided.\n\nThe following products ship only the Lucene components relevant to this flaw, and are not vulnerable to the second portion of the vulnerability, the code execution exploit. As such, the impact of this flaw has been determined to be Moderate for these respective products:\nRed Hat JBoss Data Grid 7 \nRed Hat Enterprise Linux 6\nRed Hat Software Collections 2.4\n\nThis issue did not affect the versions of lucene as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.\n\nThis issue does not affect Elasticsearch as shipped in OpenShift Container Platform.",
