Descriptions

JBoss SX and PicketBox, as used in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) before 6.2.3, use world-readable permissions on audit.log, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading this file.

JBoss SX y PicketBox, como se usan en Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) en versiones anteriores a 6.2.3, utilizan permisos de lectura universal en audit.log, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener informaciĆ³n sensible leyendo este archivo.

It was found that the security auditing functionality provided by PicketBox and JBossSX, both security frameworks for Java applications, used a world-readable audit.log file to record sensitive information. A local user could possibly use this flaw to gain access to the sensitive information in the audit.log file.

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.
