(RHSA-2010:0963) Low: JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.0 security update

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is the market leading platform for
innovative and scalable Java applications; integrating the JBoss
Application Server, with JBoss Hibernate and JBoss Seam into a complete,
simple enterprise solution.

A flaw was found in the JBoss Remoting component. A remote attacker could
use specially-crafted input to cause the JBoss Remoting listeners to become
unresponsive, resulting in a denial of service condition for services
communicating via JBoss Remoting sockets. (CVE-2010-3862)

Red Hat would like to thank Ole Husgaard of eXerp.com for reporting this
issue.

Warning: Before applying this update, please backup the JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform “jboss-as/server/$PROFILE/deploy/” directory, along
with all other customized configuration files.
