The Apache Thrift Node.js static web server in versions 0.9.2 through 0.11.0 have been determined to contain a security vulnerability in which a remote user has the ability to access files outside the set webservers docroot path.

El servidor web estático Node.js de Apache Thrift, desde su versión 0.9.2 hasta la 0.11.0, contiene una vulnerabilidad de seguridad en la que un usuario remoto tiene la capacidad de acceder a archivos fuera de la ruta webservers docroot predeterminada.

A flaw was found in the Node.js static web server in Apache Thrift, where it allowed a remote user to access files outside of the set web servers' docroot path. An attacker could use this flaw to possibly access unauthorized files and sensitive information.

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 release of Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6.4.8 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6.4.7, and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the References. Issues addressed include code execution, deserialization, information leakage, and path sanitization vulnerabilities.
