What it is about

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform ist eine skalierbare Plattform für Java-Anwendungen, inklusive JBoss Application Server, JBoss Hibernate und Boss Seam. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) ist eine populäre Linux-Distribution. Ein entfernter, authentisierter Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform und Red Hat Enterprise Linux ausnutzen, um einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network, but only with valid access (login required), for example with stolen credentials or as an insider.

What can happen in the worst case
