Updated Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.1 packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Low security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7.
It was found that the security audit functionality, as provided by Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6, logged request parameters in plain text. This may have caused passwords to be included in the audit log files when using BASIC or FORM-based authentication. A local attacker with access to audit log files could possibly use this flaw to obtain application or server authentication credentials.
(CVE-2014-0058)
The provided patch to fix CVE-2014-0058 also allows greater control over which of the following components of web requests are captured in audit logs :
parameters
cookies
headers
attributes
It is also possible to selectively mask some elements of headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes using masks. This capability is provided by two system properties, which are introduced by this patch :
Description: This property controls the granularity of the security auditing of web requests.
Possible values: off = Disables auditing of web requests headers = Audits only the headers of web requests cookies = Audits only the cookies of web requests parameters = Audits only the parameters of web requests attributes = Audits only the attributes of web requests headers,cookies,parameters = Audits the headers, cookies, and parameters of web requests headers,cookies = Audits the headers and cookies of web requests
Default Value: headers, parameters
Examples: Setting βorg.jboss.security.web.audit=offβ disables security auditing of web requests entirely. Setting βorg.jboss.security.web.audit=headersβ enables security auditing of only headers in web requests.
Description: This property can be used to specify a list of strings to be matched against headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes of web requests. Any element matching the specified masks will be excluded from security audit logging.
Possible values: Any comma separated string indicating keys of headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes.
Default Value: j_password, authorization
Note that currently the matching of the masks is fuzzy rather than strict. For example, a mask of βauthorizationβ will mask both the header called authorization and the parameter called βcustom_authorizationβ. A future release may introduce strict masks.
Warning: Before applying this update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform installation and deployed applications.
All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.2.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages. The JBoss server process must be restarted for the update to take effect.

(CVE-2014-0058)
The provided patch to fix CVE-2014-0058 also allows greater control
over which of the following components of web requests are captured in
audit logs :
* parameters
* cookies
* headers
* attributes
It is also possible to selectively mask some elements of headers,
parameters, cookies, and attributes using masks. This capability is
provided by two system properties, which are introduced by this
patch :
1) org.jboss.security.web.audit
Description: This property controls the granularity of the security
auditing of web requests.
Possible values: off = Disables auditing of web requests headers =
Audits only the headers of web requests cookies = Audits only the
cookies of web requests parameters = Audits only the parameters of web
requests attributes = Audits only the attributes of web requests
headers,cookies,parameters = Audits the headers, cookies, and

cookies of web requests
Default Value: headers, parameters
Examples: Setting 'org.jboss.security.web.audit=off' disables security
auditing of web requests entirely. Setting
'org.jboss.security.web.audit=headers' enables security auditing of
only headers in web requests.
2) org.jboss.security.web.audit.mask
Description: This property can be used to specify a list of strings to
be matched against headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes of web
requests. Any element matching the specified masks will be excluded
from security audit logging.
Possible values: Any comma separated string indicating keys of
headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes.
Default Value: j_password, authorization
Note that currently the matching of the masks is fuzzy rather than
strict. For example, a mask of 'authorization' will mask both the
header called authorization and the parameter called
'custom_authorization'. A future release may introduce strict masks.
