Descriptions

The doFilter function in webapp/PushHandlerFilter.java in JBoss RichFaces 4.3.4, 4.3.5, and 5.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and out-of-memory error) via a large number of malformed atmosphere push requests.

La función doFilter en webapp/PushHandlerFilter.java en JBoss RichFaces 4.3.4, 4.3.5 y 5.x permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria y error de falta de memoria) a través de un número grande de solicitudes atmosphere push malformadas.

It was found that certain malformed requests caused RichFaces to leak memory. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to send a large number of malformed requests to a RichFaces application that uses the Atmosphere framework, leading to a denial of service (excessive memory consumption) on the application server.
