Descriptions

The Web Console in Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) before 6.4.4 and WildFly (formerly JBoss Application Server) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large request header.

Web Console en Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) en versiones anteriores a 6.4.4 y WildFly (anteriormente JBoss Application Server) permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de la memoria) a través de una cabecera de petición grande.

It was discovered that sending requests containing large headers to the Web Console produced a Java OutOfMemoryError in the HTTP management interface. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. It was discovered that sending requests containing large headers to the Web Console produced a Java OutOfMemoryError in the HTTP management interface. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the EAP Management Console could be opened in an IFRAME, which made it possible to intercept and manipulate requests. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into performing arbitrary actions in the Console.
