2. Description:

JBoss Cache is the clustering backbone for data distribution in JBoss
Enterprise Web Platform. It provides the backing implementation
for web session replication, stateful session bean replication and entity
caching.

exposure of authentication credentials if local users had permissions to
read the log file. (CVE-2012-0034)
