Summary: Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.7.0, which fixes multiple security issues, various bugs, and adds enhancements, is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important 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: Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit combines popular open source web frameworks into a single solution for Java applications. This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.6.0, and includes bug fixes and enhancements. Refer to the 2.7.0 Release Notes for information on the most significant of these changes, available shortly from https://access.redhat.com/documentation/ This release also fixes the following security issues: It was discovered that the HttpClient incorrectly extracted host name from an X.509 certificate subject's Common Name (CN) field. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server using a specially crafted X.509 certificate. (CVE-2012-6153, CVE-2014-3577) Note: For additional information on these two flaws, refer to the Knowledgebase article in the References section. It was found that external parameter entities were not disabled when the resteasy.document.expand.entity.references parameter was set to false. A remote attacker able to send XML requests to a RESTEasy endpoint could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks. (CVE-2014-3490) It was discovered that the implementation of org.hibernate.validator.util.ReflectionHelper together with the permissions required to run Hibernate Validator under the Java Security Manager could allow a malicious application deployed in the same application container to execute several actions with escalated privileges, which might otherwise not be possible. This flaw could be used to perform various attacks, including but not restricted to, arbitrary code execution in systems that are otherwise secured by the Java Security Manager. (CVE-2014-3558) The CVE-2012-6153 issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of Red Hat Product Security, and the CVE-2014-3490 issue was discovered by David Jorm of Red Hat Product Security.
