3. Description:

The Enterprise Web Platform is for mid-size workloads, focusing on light
and rich Java applications. Web Platform is a slimmed down profile of the
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.

A flaw was found in the JBoss Remoting component. A remote attacker could
use specially-crafted input to cause the JBoss Remoting listeners to become
unresponsive, resulting in a denial of service condition for services
communicating via JBoss Remoting sockets. (CVE-2010-3862)

Red Hat would like to thank Ole Husgaard of eXerp.com for reporting this
issue.

These updated packages include multiple bug fixes. Documentation for these
bug fixes will be available shortly from the Release Notes, linked to in
the References section.

As well, this update adds a new jbossws-cxf package to JBoss Enterprise
Web Platform 5.1, to provide the sources for jbossws-cxf. (BZ#645465)

Warning: Before applying this update, please backup the JBoss Enterprise
Web Platform "jboss-as-web/server/$PROFILE/deploy/" directory, along with

process must be restarted for the update to take effect.
