Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1822-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1822-01 – Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. A resource consumption issue was found in the way Xerces-J handled XML declarations. A remote attacker could use an XML document with a specially crafted declaration using a long pseudo-attribute name that, when parsed by an application using Xerces-J, would cause that application to use an excessive amount of CPU. This release of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform also includes bug fixes and enhancements. A list of these changes is available from the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.2 Downloads page on the Customer Portal.
