2. Description:

Red Hat JBoss A-MQ, based on Apache ActiveMQ, is a standards-compliant
messaging system that is tailored for use in mission critical applications.

Red Hat JBoss A-MQ 6.2.0 is a minor product release that updates Red Hat
JBoss A-MQ 6.1.0 and includes several bug fixes and enhancements. Refer to
the Release Notes document, available from the link in the References
section, for a list of changes.

The following security issues are resolved with this update:

It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-6153 was incomplete: the code added
to check that the server hostname matches the domain name in a subject's
Common Name (CN) field in X.509 certificates was flawed. A
man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to spoof an SSL server using
a specially crafted X.509 certificate. (CVE-2014-3577)

It was found that JBoss Fuse would allow any user defined in the
users.properties file to access the HawtIO console without having a valid
admin role. This could allow a remote attacker to bypass intended
authentication HawtIO console access restrictions. (CVE-2014-8175)

It was found that a prior countermeasure in Apache WSS4J for
Bleichenbacher's attack on XML Encryption (CVE-2011-2487) threw an
exception that permitted an attacker to determine the failure of the
attempted attack, thereby leaving WSS4J vulnerable to the attack. The
original flaw allowed a remote attacker to recover the entire plain text
form of a symmetric key. (CVE-2015-0226)

It was found that Apache WSS4J permitted bypass of the
requireSignedEncryptedDataElements configuration property via XML Signature
wrapping attacks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to modify the
contents of a signed request. (CVE-2015-0227)

It was found that PKIX trust components allowed an X509 credential to be
trusted if no trusted names were available for the entityID. An attacker
could use a certificate issued by a shibmd:KeyAuthority trust anchor to
impersonate an entity within the scope of that keyAuthority.
(CVE-2015-1796)

The CVE-2014-8175 issue was reported by Jay Kumar SenSharma of Red Hat.

All users of Red Hat JBoss A-MQ 6.1.0 as provided from the Red Hat Customer
Portal are advised to apply this update.
