1. Summary:

An update is now available for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform from the Customer Portal.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) 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.

This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform 6.4.6, and includes bug fixes and enhancements.
Documentation for these changes will be available shortly from the Red Hat
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.7 Release Notes, linked to in the
References.

Security Fix(es):

* A read-timeout flaw was found in the HTTPS NIO Connector handling of SSL
handshakes. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could create a socket and
cause a thread to remain occupied indefinitely so long as the socket
remained open (denial of service). (CVE-2016-2094)

* It was found that Tomcat would keep connections open after processing
requests with a large enough request body. A remote attacker could
potentially use this flaw to exhaust the pool of available connections and
preventing further, legitimate connections to the Tomcat server to be made.
(CVE-2014-0230)

The CVE-2016-2094 issue was discovered by Aaron Ogburn of Red Hat.
