Description
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 update serves as a cumulative upgrade for Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6.2.0. It includes various bug fixes, which are listed in the README file included with the patch files.
The following security issue is also fixed with this release:
A flaw was discovered in the way applications using Groovy used the standard Java serialization mechanism. A remote attacker could use a specially crafted serialized object that would execute 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)
All users of Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization 6.2.0 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this update.
Solution
The References section of this erratum contains a download link (you must log in to download the update). Before applying the update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization installation (including its databases, applications, configuration files, and so on).
