-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Low: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.1 security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:0205-01 Product: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0205.html Issue date: 2014-02-24 CVE Names: CVE-2014-0058 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: An update for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.1 that fixes one security issue is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Low 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: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. It was found that the security audit functionality, as provided by Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6, logged request parameters in plain text. This may have caused passwords to be included in the audit log files when using BASIC or FORM-based authentication. A local attacker with access to audit log files could possibly use this flaw to obtain application or server authentication credentials. (CVE-2014-0058) The provided patch to fix CVE-2014-0058 also allows greater control over which of the following components of web requests are captured in audit logs: - parameters - cookies - headers - attributes It is also possible to selectively mask some elements of headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes using masks. This capability is provided by two system properties, which are introduced by this patch: 1) org.jboss.security.web.audit Description: This property controls the granularity of the security auditing of web requests. Possible values: off = Disables auditing of web requests headers = Audits only the headers of web requests cookies = Audits only the cookies of web requests parameters = Audits only the parameters of web requests attributes = Audits only the attributes of web requests headers,cookies,parameters = Audits the headers, cookies, and parameters of web requests headers,cookies = Audits the headers and cookies of web requests Default Value: headers, parameters Examples: Setting "org.jboss.security.web.audit=off" disables security auditing of web requests entirely. Setting "org.jboss.security.web.audit=headers" enables security auditing of only headers in web requests. 2) org.jboss.security.web.audit.mask Description: This property can be used to specify a list of strings to be matched against headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes of web requests. Any element matching the specified masks will be excluded from security audit logging. Possible values: Any comma separated string indicating keys of headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes. Default Value: j_password, authorization Note that currently the matching of the masks is fuzzy rather than strict. For example, a mask of "authorization" will mask both the header called authorization and the parameter called "custom_authorization". A future release may introduce strict masks. All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.1 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this update. The JBoss server process must be restarted for the update to take effect. 3. Solution: The References section of this erratum contains a download link (you must log in to download the update).
