1. Summary:

An update for the Seam component of Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.5.0
that fixes one security issue is now available from the Red Hat Customer

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having

2. Description:

Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit combines popular open source web frameworks
into a single solution for Java applications. Seam is an open source
development platform for building rich Internet applications in Java.
Seam integrates technologies such as Asynchronous JavaScript and XML
(AJAX), JavaServer Faces (JSF), Java Persistence API (JPA), and Enterprise
Java Beans (EJB). Seam 2.3 provides support for JSF 2, RichFaces 4, and JPA
2 capabilities, running on top of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform 6.

It was found that the org.jboss.seam.web.AuthenticationFilter class
implementation did not properly use Seam logging. A remote attacker could
send specially crafted authentication headers to an application, which
could result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user
running that application. (CVE-2014-0248)

All users of Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.5.0 as provided from the Red
Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this update.
