Descriptions

Oracle Mojarra 2.2.x before 2.2.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.28 does not perform appropriate encoding when a (1) <h:outputText> tag or (2) EL expression is used after a scriptor style block, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via application-specific vectors.

Oracle Mojarra 2.2.x anterior a 2.2.6 y 2.1.x anterior a 2.1.28 no realiza la codificación debida cuando se utilice (1) una etiqueta o (2) una expresión EL después de un bloque del estilo scriptor, lo que permite a atacantes remotos realizar ataques de XSS a través de vectores específicos de una aplicación.

It was found that Mojarra JavaServer Faces did not properly escape user-supplied content in certain circumstances. Contents of outputText tags and raw EL expressions that immediately follow script or style elements were not escaped. A remote attacker could use a specially crafted URL to execute arbitrary web script in the user's browser.

Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization is a lean data integration solution that provides easy, real-time, and unified data access across disparate sources to multiple applications and users. JBoss Data Virtualization makes data spread across physically distinct systems such as multiple databases, XML files, and even Hadoop systems appear as a set of tables in a local database. The release of Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6.1.0 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6.0.0. It includes various bug fixes, which are listed in the README file included with the patch files.
