CVE-2012-1154: Medium severity redhat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform vulnerability
modcluster 1.0.10 before 1.0.10 CP03 and 1.1.x before 1.1.4, as used in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2, when "ROOT" is set to excludedContexts, exposes the root context of the server, which allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions and gain access to applications deployed on the root context via unspecified vectors.
Other sources
modcluster 1.0.10 CP02 and 1.1.3 registers and exposes the root context of a server by default, despite ROOT being in the excludedContexts list. This is due to a regression that bypassed context filtering for the root context, causing the root context to be enabled inadvertently. This flaw is fixed in modcluster 1.0.10 CP03 and 1.1.4.
