Descriptions

org.jboss.as.jaxrs.deployment.JaxrsIntegrationProcessor in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JEAP) before 6.2.4 enables entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via unspecified vectors, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.

org.jboss.as.jaxrs.deployment.JaxrsIntegrationProcessor en Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JEAP) anterior a 6.2.4 habilita la expansión de entidad, lo que permite a atacantes remotos leer ficheros arbitrarios a través de vectores no especificados, relacionado con un problema de entidad externa XML (XXE).

It was found that the default context parameters as provided to RESTEasy deployments by JBoss EAP did not explicitly disable external entity expansion for RESTEasy. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform XML External Entity (XXE) attacks on RESTEasy applications accepting XML input.

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.
