Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0828-01
Posted Mar 23, 2017
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0828-01 - Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.14 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.13, and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the References. Security Fix: It was discovered that EAP packages in certain versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux use incorrect permissions for /etc/sysconfig/jbossas configuration files. The file is writable to jboss group. On systems using classic /etc/init.d init scripts, the file is sourced by the jboss init script and its content executed with root privileges when jboss service is started, stopped, or restarted.

1. Summary:

An update is now available for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform 6.4 for RHEL 7.

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.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4 for RHEL 7 Server - noarch

3. Description:

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java
applications based on JBoss Application Server 7.

This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.14 serves
as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.13,
and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are documented in the
Release Notes document linked to in the References.

Security Fix(es):

* It was discovered that EAP packages in certain versions of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux use incorrect permissions for /etc/sysconfig/jbossas
configuration files. The file is writable to jboss group (root:jboss, 664).
On systems using classic /etc/init.d init scripts (i.e. on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 and earlier), the file is sourced by the jboss init
script and its content executed with root privileges when jboss service is
started, stopped, or restarted. (CVE-2016-8657)

* It was discovered that a programming error in the processing of HTTPS
requests in the Apache Tomcat servlet and JSP engine may result in denial
of service via an infinite loop. (CVE-2017-6056)

* It was found that GZIPInterceptor is enabled when not necessarily
required in RESTEasy. An attacker could use this flaw to launch a Denial of
Service attack. (CVE-2016-6346)

Red Hat would like to thank Mikhail Egorov (Odin) for reporting the
CVE-2016-6346 issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform installation and deployed applications.

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1372120 - CVE-2016-6346 RESTEasy: Abuse of GZIPInterceptor in RESTEasy can lead to denial of service attack
1400343 - CVE-2016-8657 jboss: jbossas writable config files allow privilege escalation
1419595 - RHEL7 RPMs: Upgrade jbossweb to 7.5.21.Final-redhat-2
1419648 - RHEL7 RPMs: Upgrade jboss-msc to 1.1.7.SP1-redhat-1
1422148 - CVE-2017-6056 tomcat: Infinite loop in the processing of https requests
