DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has acknowledged some vulnerabilities in JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site request forgery attacks, cause a DoS (Denial of
Service), or compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An input sanitisation error during deserialisation in JBoss Drools
can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by passing specially
crafted input containing an embedded class file to a JBoss Seam based
application that accepts serialized input.

2) The JMX Console allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests with performing any validity checks to verify the requests.
This can be exploited to e.g. deploy an arbitrary WAR file on the
target server if a logged-in administrative user is tricked into
visiting a specially crafted web page.

3) An error in the JBoss Remoting component within the handling of
bisocket control connections can be exploited to cause the JBoss
Remoting listeners to become unresponsive.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
