3. Description:

The eap7-jboss-ec2-eap package provides scripts for Red Hat JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).

With this update, the eap7-jboss-ec2-eap package has been updated to ensure
compatibility with Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.4.

Refer to the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.4 Release Notes,
linked to in the References section, for information on the most
significant bug fixes and enhancements included in this release.

Security Fix(es):

* An EAP feature to download server log files allows logs to be available
via GET requests making them vulnerable to cross-origin attacks. An
attacker could trigger the user's browser to request the log files
consuming enough resources that normal server functioning could be
impaired. (CVE-2016-8627)

* It was discovered that when configuring RBAC and marking information as
sensitive, users with a Monitor role are able to view the sensitive
information. (CVE-2016-7061)

The CVE-2016-8627 issue was discovered by Darran Lofthouse and Brian
Stansberry (Red Hat).

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
