Descriptions

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) before 6.4.5 does not properly authorize access to shut down the server, which allows remote authenticated users with the Monitor, Deployer, or Auditor role to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) en versiones anteriores a 6.4.5 no autoriza adecuadamente el acceso para apagar el servidor, lo que permite a usuarios remotos autenticados con el rol Monitor, Deployer o Auditor causar una denegación de servicio a través de vectores no especificados.

It was found that JBoss EAP did not properly authorize a user performing a shut down. A remote user with the Monitor, Deployer, or Auditor role could use this flaw to shut down the EAP server, which is an action restricted to admin users.

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. It was found that the Apache commons-collections library permitted code execution when deserializing objects involving a specially constructed chain of classes. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application using the commons-collections library.
