Description

Red Hat JBoss Fuse Service Works is the next-generation ESB and business process automation infrastructure.

This release of Red Hat JBoss Fuse Service Works 6.2.1 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Fuse Service Works 6.0.0. It includes various bug fixes, which are listed in the README file included with the patch files.

The following security issues are fixed with this release:

A flaw was discovered that when an application uses Groovy (has it on the classpath) and uses the standard Java serialization mechanism, an attacker can bake a special serialized object that executes code directly when deserialized. All applications which rely on serialization and do not isolate the code which deserializes objects are subject to this vulnerability. (CVE-2015-3253)

It was found that Apache Camel's XML converter performed XML External Entity (XXE) expansion. A remote attacker able to submit an SAXSource containing an XXE declaration could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks. (CVE-2015-0263)

It was found that Apache Camel performed XML External Entity (XXE) expansion when evaluating invalid XML Strings or invalid XML GenericFile objects. A remote attacker able to submit a crafted XML message could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks. (CVE-2015-0264)

All users of Red Hat JBoss Fuse Service Works 6.0.0 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this security update.
