-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: mod_cluster security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2012:1053-01 Product: JBoss Enterprise Web Platform Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1053.html Issue date: 2012-07-03 CVE Names: CVE-2012-1154 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated mod_cluster packages that fix one security issue are now available for JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.2 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, and 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5 for RHEL 4 AS - noarch JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5 for RHEL 4 ES - noarch JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5 for RHEL 5 Server - noarch JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5 for RHEL 6 Server - noarch 3. Description: mod_cluster is an Apache HTTP Server (httpd) based load balancer that forwards requests from httpd to application server nodes. It can use the AJP, HTTP, or HTTPS protocols for communication with application server nodes. The JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.2 release (RHSA-2011:1804, RHSA-2011:1803, RHSA-2011:1802) introduced a regression, causing mod_cluster to register and expose the root context of a server by default, even when "ROOT" was in the "excludedContexts" list in the mod_cluster configuration. If an application was deployed on the root context, a remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended access restrictions and gain access to that application. (CVE-2012-1154) Warning: Before applying this update, back up your JBoss Enterprise Web Platform's "server/[PROFILE]/deploy/" directory and any other customized configuration files. Users of JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, and 6 should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. The JBoss server process must be restarted for this update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258 5.
