1. Summary:
Red Hat JBoss Web Server 3.0.3 is now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6 and 7, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows 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 Web Server is a fully integrated and certified set of
components for hosting Java web applications. It is comprised of the Apache
HTTP Server, the Apache Tomcat Servlet container, Apache Tomcat Connector
(mod_jk), JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), Hibernate, and the Tomcat
Native library.
This release of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 3.0.3 serves as a replacement for
Red Hat JBoss Web Server 3.0.2, and includes bug fixes and enhancements,
which are documented in the Release Notes documented linked to in the
References.
Security Fix(es):
* Several denial of service flaws were found in libxml2, a library
providing support for reading, modifying, and writing XML and HTML files. A
remote attacker could provide a specially crafted XML or HTML file that,
when processed by an application using libxml2, would cause that
application to use an excessive amount of CPU, leak potentially sensitive
information, or in certain cases crash the application. (CVE-2015-5312,
CVE-2015-7497, CVE-2015-7498, CVE-2015-7499, CVE-2015-7500, CVE-2015-7942,
CVE-2015-8035, CVE-2015-8710, CVE-2015-7941, CVE-2015-8241, CVE-2015-8242,
CVE-2015-8317)
* A session fixation flaw was found in the way Tomcat recycled the
requestedSessionSSL field. If at least one web application was configured
to use the SSL session ID as the HTTP session ID, an attacker could reuse a
previously used session ID for further requests. (CVE-2015-5346)
* A CSRF flaw was found in Tomcat's the index pages for the Manager and
Host Manager applications. These applications included a valid CSRF token
when issuing a redirect as a result of an unauthenticated request to the
root of the web application. This token could then be used by an attacker
to perform a CSRF attack. (CVE-2015-5351)
* It was found that several Tomcat session persistence mechanisms could
allow a remote, authenticated user to bypass intended SecurityManager
restrictions and execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a web
application that placed a crafted object in a session. (CVE-2016-0714)
* A security manager bypass flaw was found in Tomcat that could allow
remote, authenticated users to access arbitrary application data,
potentially resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-0763)
* A use-after-free flaw was found in the way OpenSSL imported malformed
Elliptic Curve private keys. A specially crafted key file could cause an
application using OpenSSL to crash when imported. (CVE-2015-0209)
* It was found that Tomcat could reveal the presence of a directory even
when that directory was protected by a security constraint. A user could
make a request to a directory via a URL not ending with a slash and,
depending on whether Tomcat redirected that request, could confirm whether
that directory existed. (CVE-2015-5345)
* It was found that Tomcat allowed the StatusManagerServlet to be loaded by
a web application when a security manager was configured. This allowed a
web application to list all deployed web applications and expose sensitive
information such as session IDs. (CVE-2016-0706)
