Descriptions

The default configuration for the Command Line Interface in Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform before 6.4.0 and WildFly (formerly JBoss Application Server) uses weak permissions for .jboss-cli-history, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

La configuración por defecto para la interfaz de la línea de comandos en Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform anterior a 6.4.0 y WildFly (anteriormente JBoss Application Server) utiliza permisos débiles para .jboss-cli-history, lo que permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible a través de vectores no especificados.

It was found that the Command Line Interface, as provided by Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform, created a history file named .jboss-cli-history in the user's home directory with insecure default file permissions. This could allow a malicious local user to gain information otherwise not accessible to them.

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. It was found that a prior countermeasure in Apache WSS4J for Bleichenbacher's attack on XML Encryption threw an exception that permitted an attacker to determine the failure of the attempted attack, thereby leaving WSS4J vulnerable to the attack. The original flaw allowed a remote attacker to recover the entire plain text form of a symmetric key. It was found that Apache WSS4J permitted bypass of the requireSignedEncryptedDataElements configuration property via XML Signature wrapping attacks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to modify the contents of a signed request.
