1. Summary:

An update is now available for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform.

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 Enterprise Application Platform 7 is an application server
that serves as a middleware platform and is built on open standards and
compliant with the Java EE 7 specification.

This release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.4 serves
as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.3,
and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are documented in the
Release Notes, linked to in the References section.

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).

3. Solution:

Before applying this update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform installation and deployed applications.
