CVE-2012-5575

Apache CXF en versiones 2.5.x anteriores a la 2.5.10, 2.6.x anteriores a CXF 2.6.7 y 2.7.x anteriores a CXF 2.7.4 no verifica que un algoritmo criptográfico específico esté permitido por la definición de WS-SecurityPolicy AlgorithmSuite antes del descifrado, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos forzar a CXF a usar algoritmos criptográficos más débiles que los previstos y facilita el descifrado de las comunicaciones. Esto también se conoce como "XML Encryption backwards compatibility attack".

Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform is the next-generation ESB and business process automation infrastructure. Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform allows IT to leverage existing, modern, and future integration methodologies to dramatically improve business process execution speed and quality. This roll up patch serves as a cumulative upgrade for Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform 5.3.1. It includes various bug fixes. The following security issue is also fixed with this release: XML encryption backwards compatibility attacks were found against various frameworks, including Apache CXF. An attacker could force a server to use insecure, legacy cryptosystems, even when secure cryptosystems were enabled on endpoints. By forcing the use of legacy cryptosystems, flaws such as CVE-2011-1096 and CVE-2011-2487 would be exposed, allowing plain text to be recovered from cryptograms and symmetric keys. This issue affected both the JBoss Web Services CXF and JBoss Web Services Native stacks.
