What it is about

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform ist eine skalierbare Plattform für Java-Anwendungen, inklusive JBoss Application Server, JBoss Hibernate und Boss Seam. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen, einen Cross-Site-Angriff durchzuführen, einen Denial of Service Zustand herbeizuführen, Informationen offenzulegen oder Dateien zu manipulieren.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen
  • Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen
  • einen Cross-Site-Angriff durchzuführen
  • einen Denial of Service Zustand herbeizuführen
  • Informationen offenzulegen oder Dateien zu manipulieren

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • Ubuntu Linux
  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.2
  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.2_EL6
  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.2_EL7
  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.2_EL8
  • IBM InfoSphere Information Server

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Install the updates provided by the vendor; details in the sources below.

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
