DESCRIPTION:
Two security issues have been reported in Apache CXF, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

1) An error when handling HTTP GET requests via the
URIMappingInterceptor can be exploited to bypass WS-Security
processing and access otherwise restricted SOAP services.

Successful exploitation of this security issue requires that the
service is secured via WSS4JInInterceptor and is not protected by
WS-SecurityPolicy.

This security issue is reported in versions prior to 2.5.8, 2.6.5,
and 2.7.2.

2) An error when handling WS-SecurityPolicy enabled plaintext
UsernameTokens can be exploited to bypass authentication by not
providing a password child element within the security header of a
SOAP request.

This security issue is reported in versions prior to 2.5.9, 2.6.6,
and 2.7.3.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.5.9, 2.6.6, or 2.7.3.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
