Summary: JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.2.0, which fixes multiple security issues, various bugs, and adds enhancements is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Description: 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. This release of JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.2.0 serves as a replacement for JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.1.1, and includes bug fixes and enhancements. Refer to the JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.2.0 Release Notes for information on the most significant of these changes. The Release Notes will be available shortly from https://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/index.html The following security issues are also fixed with this release: Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform. If a remote attacker could trick a user, who was logged into the portal, into visiting a specially-crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the user's portal session. (CVE-2011-4580) It was found that the login page of JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform could be used to perform open URL redirects. A remote attacker could use this flaw to redirect users to arbitrary websites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL passed in the initialURI parameter. (CVE-2011-2941) It was found that the invoker servlets, deployed by default via httpha-invoker, only performed access control on the HTTP GET and POST methods, allowing remote attackers to make unauthenticated requests by using different HTTP methods. Due to the second layer of authentication provided by a security interceptor, this issue is not exploitable on default installations unless an administrator has misconfigured the security interceptor or disabled it. (CVE-2011-4085) Red Hat would like to thank Christopher Hartley of The Ohio State University for reporting the CVE-2011-2941 issue.

All users of JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.1.1 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to upgrade to JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.2.0. 3.
