Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0527-01 – Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. Security Fix: It was discovered that the code that parsed the HTTP request line permitted invalid characters. This could be exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that also permitted the invalid characters but with a different interpretation, to inject data into the HTTP response. By manipulating the HTTP response the attacker could poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack, or obtain sensitive information from requests other then their own.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0533-01
Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0533-01 – RabbitMQ is an implementation of AMQP, the emerging standard for high performance enterprise messaging. The RabbitMQ server is a robust and scalable implementation of an AMQP broker. Security Fix: A resource-consumption flaw was found in RabbitMQ Server, where the lengths_age or lengths_incr parameters were not validated in the management plugin. Remote, authenticated users with certain privileges could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service by passing values which were too large.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0536-01 – The policycoreutils packages contain the core policy utilities required to manage a SELinux environment. Security Fix: It was found that the sandbox tool provided in policycoreutils was vulnerable to a TIOCSTI ioctl attack. A specially crafted program executed via the sandbox command could use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands in the context of the parent shell, escaping the sandbox.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-0526-01 – The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in. This update upgrades Flash Player to version 25.0.0.127. Security Fix: This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These vulnerabilities, detailed in the Adobe Security Bulletin listed in the References section, could allow an attacker to create a specially crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive information when the victim loaded a page containing the malicious SWF content.
