Red Hat JBoss Portal is the open source implementation of the Java EE suite
of services and Portal services running atop Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform.
It was found that PortletBridge PortletRequestDispatcher did not respect
security constraints set by the servlet if a portlet request asked for
rendering of a non-JSF resource such as JSP or HTML. A remote attacker
could use this flaw to potentially bypass certain security constraints and
gain access to restricted resources. (CVE-2015-5176)
Red Hat would like to thank Liferay, Inc. for reporting this issue.
All users of Red Hat JBoss Portal 6.2.0 as provided from the Red Hat
Customer Portal are advised to apply this update.
