-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Critical: RichFaces security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:1045-01 Product: Red Hat JBoss Middleware Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1045.html Issue date: 2013-07-11 CVE Names: CVE-2013-2165 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: An update for the RichFaces component that fixes one security issue is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3.0 CP10 and 5.2.0; Red Hat JBoss Web Platform 5.2.0; Red Hat JBoss BRMS 5.3.1; Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform 4.3.0 CP05 and 5.3.1; Red Hat JBoss Portal 4.3 CP07 and 5.2.2; and Red Hat JBoss Operations Network 2.4.2 and 3.1.2. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical 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. Description: RichFaces is an open source framework that adds Ajax capability into existing JavaServer Faces (JSF) applications. A flaw was found in the way RichFaces ResourceBuilderImpl handled deserialization. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger the execution of the deserialization methods in any serializable class deployed on the server. This could lead to a variety of security impacts depending on the deserialization logic of these classes. (CVE-2013-2165) The fix for this issue introduces a whitelist to limit classes that can be deserialized by RichFaces. If you require to whitelist a class that is not already listed, for example, a custom class, you can achieve this by following one of these methods: Method 1: Implementing the SerializableResource interface. In RichFaces 3, this is defined at org.ajax4jsf.resource.SerializableResource and in RichFaces 4/5, at org.richfaces.resource.SerializableResource. Method 2: Adding the class to the resource-serialization.properties file (a default properties file is provided once this update is applied). To do this you can extend the framework provided properties file that is available under org.ajax4jsf.resource in RichFaces 3 and org.richfaces.resource in RichFaces 4/5. The modified properties file has to be copied into the classpath of your deployment under the version-specific packages. Where possible, it is recommended that Method 1 be followed. Red Hat would like to thank Takeshi Terada (Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, Inc.) for reporting this issue. Warning: Before applying this update, back up your existing installation, including all applications, configuration files, databases and database settings, and so on. For Red Hat JBoss Operations Network, also back up the Red Hat JBoss Operations Network server's file system directory. All users of the affected products as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this update. 3. Solution: The References section of this erratum contains download links (you must log in to download the updates). Before applying the updates, back up your existing installation, including all applications, configuration files, databases and database settings, and so on. For Red Hat JBoss Operations Network, also back up the Red Hat JBoss Operations Network server's file system directory. For Red Hat JBoss BRMS, Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform, and Red Hat JBoss Portal, it is recommended to halt the server by stopping the JBoss Application Server process before installing this update, and then after installing the update, restart the server by starting the JBoss Application Server process. Refer to the Red Hat JBoss Operations Network Release Notes for installation information. The JBoss server process must be restarted for this update to take effect. 4.
