Descriptions

XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in StaxXMLFactoryProvider2 in Odata4j, as used in Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization before 6.0.0 patch 4, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted request to a REST endpoint.

Vulnerabilidad de entidad externa XML (XXE) en StaxXMLFactoryProvider2 en Odata4j, usado en Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization anterior a 6.0.0 parche 4, permite a atacantes remotos leer archivos arbitrarios a través de peticiones modificadas a un endpoint REST.

It was found that Odata4j permitted XML eXternal Entity (XXE) attacks. If a REST endpoint was deployed, a remote attacker could submit a request containing an external XML entity that, when resolved, allowed that attacker to read files on the application server in the context of the user running that server.

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. This roll up patch serves as a cumulative upgrade 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.
