CVE-2015-7501

First published: Mon Nov 09 2015(Updated: )

It was found that a flaw in commons-collection library allowed remote code execution wherever deserialization occurs. While JBoss doesnt expose the JMXInvokerServlet by default, other interfaces where deserialization occur might be vulnerable. Note: classes directly referenced by this flaw: InvokerTransformer, InstantiateFactory, and InstantiateTransformer External References: <a href="http://foxglovesecurity.com/2015/11/06/what-do-weblogic-websphere-jboss-jenkins-opennms-and-your-application-have-in-common-this-vulnerability/">http://foxglovesecurity.com/2015/11/06/what-do-weblogic-websphere-jboss-jenkins-opennms-and-your-application-have-in-common-this-vulnerability/</a> <a href="https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2045023">https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2045023</a>
