In Jboss Application Server as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform 5.2, it was found that the doFilter method in the ReadOnlyAccessFilter of the HTTP Invoker does not restrict classes for which it performs deserialization and thus allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted serialized data.

A flaw was found in Undertow when using Remoting as shipped in Red Hat Jboss EAP before version 7.2.4. A memory leak in HttpOpenListener due to holding remote connections indefinitely may lead to denial of service. Versions before undertow 2.0.25.SP1 and jboss-remoting 5.0.14.SP1 are believed to be vulnerable.

The EJB invocation handler implementation in Red Hat JBossWS, as used in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) before 6.2.0, does not properly enforce the method level restrictions for JAX-WS Service endpoints, which allows remote authenticated users to access otherwise restricted JAX-WS handlers by leveraging permissions to the EJB class.

The org.apache.catalina.connector.Response.encodeURL method in Red Hat JBoss Web 7.1.x and earlier, when the tracking mode is set to COOKIE, sends the jsessionid in the URL of the first response of a session, which allows remote attackers to obtain the session id (1) via a man-in-the-middle attack or (2) by reading a log.

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) before 6.1.0 and JBoss Portal before 6.1.0 does not load the implementation of a custom authorization module for a new application when an implementation is already loaded and the modules share class names, which allows local users to control certain applications' authorization decisions via a crafted application.

PicketBox, as used in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform before 6.1.1, allows local users to obtain the admin encryption key by reading the Vault data file.

ResourceBuilderImpl.java in the RichFaces 3.x through 5.x implementation in Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit before 2.3.0, Red Hat JBoss Web Platform through 5.2.0, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform through 4.3.0 CP10 and 5.x through 5.2.0, Red Hat JBoss BRMS through 5.3.1, Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform through 4.3.0 CP05 and 5.x through 5.3.1, Red Hat JBoss Portal through 4.3 CP07 and 5.x through 5.2.2, and Red Hat JBoss Operations Network through 2.4.2 and 3.x through 3.1.2 does not restrict the classes for which deserialization methods can be called, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted serialized data.

The processInvocation function in org.jboss.as.ejb3.security.AuthorizationInterceptor in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (aka JBoss EAP or JBEAP) before 6.0.1, authorizes all requests when no roles are allowed for an Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) method invocation, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions for EJB methods.

The servlets invoked by httpha-invoker in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform before 5.1.2, SOA Platform before 5.2.0, BRMS Platform before 5.3.0, and Portal Platform before 4.3 CP07 perform access control only for the GET and POST methods, which allow remote attackers to bypass authentication by sending a request with a different method. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2010-0738 regression.

The JBoss Server in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.x before 5.1.2 and 5.2.x before 5.2.2, Web Platform before 5.1.2, BRMS Platform before 5.3.0, and SOA Platform before 5.3.0, when the server is configured to use the JaccAuthorizationRealm and the ignoreBaseDecision property is set to true on the JBossWebRealm, does not properly check the permissions created by the WebPermissionMapping class, which allows remote authenticated users to access arbitrary applications.
