Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite 6.4.4, and includes bug fixes and enhancements,
which are documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the
References.

Security Fix(es):

* A deserialization flaw was discovered in the jackson-databind which could
allow an unauthenticated user to perform code execution by sending the
maliciously crafted input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper.
(CVE-2017-7525)

* A vulnerability was found in Jasypt that would allow an attacker to
perform a timing attack on password hash comparison. (CVE-2014-9970)

* An XXE vulnerability was found in Apache Batik which could allow a remote
attacker to retrieve the files on the vulnerable server's filesystem by
uploading specially crafted SVG images. The vulnerability could also allow
a denial of service condition by performing an amplification attack.
(CVE-2017-5662)

Red Hat would like to thank Liao Xinxi (NSFOCUS) for reporting
