Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.7.8 release and security update

Notes

Topic
Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.7.8 zip release is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, and Windows Server. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. 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.
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 Tomcat Servlet container, JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), the PicketLink Vault extension for Apache Tomcat, and the Tomcat Native library. This release of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.7.8 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.7.7. This release includes bug fixes, enhancements and component upgrades, which are documented in the Release Notes linked to in the References section. Security Fix(es): * tomcat: HTTP request smuggling via malformed trailer headers (CVE-2023-46589) * tomcat: : Apache Tomcat: HTTP/2 header handling DoS (CVE-2024-24549) * openssl: Generating excessively long X9.42 DH keys or checking excessively long X9.42 DH keys or parameters may be very slow (CVE-2023-5678) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Specifically, when an HTTP/2 request surpasses the predetermined limits for headers configured within the server, the associated HTTP/2 stream isn\u0027t reset immediately. Instead, the reset action occurs only after all the headers within the request have been processed. This lapse in resetting the stream exposes the system to potential risks, as it allows malicious actors to exploit the delay in stream reset to carry out various attacks, such as header manipulation or resource exhaustion.",

By delaying the reset of HTTP/2 streams until after processing all headers, malicious actors can exploit this window to execute header manipulation attacks, leading to potential data exfiltration, injection of malicious content, or server resource exhaustion. Furthermore, the delayed reset prolongs the exposure time of vulnerable systems, increasing the likelihood of successful exploitation.\n\nIn addition, Red Hat Certificate System 10.0 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8\u0027s Identity Management, are using a vulnerable version of Tomcat that is bundled into the pki-servlet-engine component. However, HTTP/2 is not enabled in such a configuration, and it is not possible to trigger the flaw in a supported setup. See https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2020-13934  for context.",
