Descriptions

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (aka JBoss EAP or JBEAP) before 6.0.1, when using role-based authorization for Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) access, does not call the intended authorization modules, which prevents JACC permissions from being applied and allows remote attackers to obtain access to the EJB.

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (tambíen conocido como JBoss EAP o JBEAP) anteriores a v6.0.1, cuando se usa una autorización basada en roles para acceder a Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), no llama a los módulos de autorización de forma adecuada, lo que evita que se puedan usar los permisos JACC de ser aplicados y permiten a atacantes remotos obtener acceso a EJB.
