Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1297-01
Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1297-01 – Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer, Transport Layer Security, and Datagram Transport Layer Security protocols, as well as a full-strength, general purpose cryptography library. It was discovered that the OBJ_obj2txt() function could fail to properly NUL-terminate its output. This could possibly cause an application using OpenSSL functions to format fields of X.509 certificates to disclose portions of its memory.
