(RHSA-2008:0828) Moderate: JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3.0CP01 security update

JBoss EAP is a middleware platform for Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition
(J2EE) applications.

This release of JBoss EAP for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 contains the JBoss
Application Server and JBoss Seam. This release serves as a replacement to
JBoss EAP 4.3.0.GA, and fixes the following security issues:

The JavaServer Faces (JSF) component was vulnerable to multiple cross-site
scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. An attacker could use these flaws to
inject arbitrary web script or HTML. (CVE-2008-1285)

Unauthenticated users were able to access the status servlet, which could
allow remote attackers to acquire details about deployed web contexts.
(CVE-2008-3273)

These updated packages include bug fixes and enhancements which are not
listed here. For a full list, refer to the JBoss EAP 4.3.0.CP01 release
notes, linked to in the “References” section of this advisory.

Warning: before applying this update, please back up the JBoss EAP
“server/[configuration]/deploy/” directory, and any customized
configuration files.

All users of JBoss EAP on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 are advised to upgrade
to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
