Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0345-02
Posted Mar 2, 2012
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0345-02 - JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform is the open source implementation of the Java EE suite of services and Portal services running atop JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. It comprises a set of offerings for enterprise customers who are looking for pre-configured profiles of JBoss Enterprise Middleware components that have been tested and certified together to provide an integrated experience. It was found that JBoss Web did not handle large numbers of parameters and large parameter values efficiently. A remote attacker could make JBoss Web use an excessive amount of CPU time by sending an HTTP request containing a large number of parameters or large parameter values. This update introduces limits on the number of parameters and headers processed per request to address this issue. The default limit is 512 for parameters and 128 for headers. These defaults can be changed by setting the org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters.MAX_COUNT and org.apache.tomcat.util.http.MimeHeaders.MAX_COUNT system properties in "jboss-as/server/[PROFILE]/deploy/properties-service.xml".
