1. Summary:
An update for eap7-jboss-ec2-eap is now available for Red Hat JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform 7.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red

3. Description:
The eap7-jboss-ec2-eap packages provide scripts for Red Hat JBoss
Enterprise Application Platform running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
With this update, the eap7-jboss-ec2-eap package has been updated to ensure
compatibility with Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.9.
Refer to the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.9 Release Notes,
linked to in the References section, for information on the most
significant bug fixes and enhancements included in this release.
Security Fix(es):
* It was found that Apache Lucene would accept an object from an
unauthenticated user that could be manipulated through subsequent post
requests. An attacker could use this flaw to assemble an object that could
permit execution of arbitrary code if the server enabled Apache Solr’s
Config API. (CVE-2017-12629)
* It was discovered that the jboss init script performed unsafe file
handling which could result in local privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-12189)
* It was found that GZIPInterceptor is enabled when not necessarily
required in RESTEasy. An attacker could use this flaw to launch a Denial of
Service attack. (CVE-2016-6346)
* It was found that the fix for CVE-2017-2666 was incomplete and invalid
characters are still allowed in the query string and path parameters. This
could be exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that also permitted the
invalid characters but with a different interpretation, to inject data into
the HTTP response. By manipulating the HTTP response the attacker could
poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack, or obtain sensitive information
from requests other than their own. (CVE-2017-7559)
* It was discovered that the CORS Filter did not add an HTTP Vary header
indicating that the response varies depending on Origin. This permitted
client and server side cache poisoning in some circumstances.
(CVE-2017-7561)
* It was found that properties based files of the management and the
application realm configuration that contain user to role mapping are world
readable allowing access to users and roles information to all the users
logged in to the system. (CVE-2017-12167)
* It was discovered that Undertow processes http request headers with
unusual whitespaces which can cause possible http request smuggling.
(CVE-2017-12165)
