(RHSA-2017:0059) Moderate: Red Hat Mobile Application Platform 4.2.1 Security Update - SDKs and RPMs

Red Hat Mobile Application Platform (RHMAP) 4.2 is delivered as a set of Docker-formatted container images. In addition to the images, several components are delivered as RPMs:

• OpenShift templates used to deploy an RHMAP Core and MBaaS
• A diagnostic tool called ‘fh-system-dump-tool’, which can be used to collect information about the RHMAP cluster in case of problems

The following RPMs are included in the RHMAP container images, and are provided here only for completeness:

• The Nagios server, which is used to monitor the status of RHMAP components, is installed inside the Nagios container image.
• PhantomJS, a headless WebKit scriptable with a JavaScript API, is installed inside the MBaaS and Supercore container images.
• ‘mod_authnz_external’, an Apache module used for authentication, is installed inside the httpd container image.

A ZIP package containing client SDKs is also delivered as an optional download. The same ZIP file is also provided inside the ‘rhmap42/fh-sdks’ container image.
