CVE-2019-3894: High severity wildfly vulnerability

Published Feb 25, 2019
·
Updated

A flaw was found in Wildfly from version 11. The ElytronManagedThread in Elytron subsystem stores a SecurityIdentity to run the thread as. These threads do not necessarily terminate if the keep alive time has not expired. This could cause a shared thread to use the wrong security identity when executing.

Other sources

It was discovered that the ElytronManagedThread in Wildfly's Elytron subsystem in versions from 11 to 16 stores a SecurityIdentity to run the thread as. These threads do not necessarily terminate if the keep alive time has not expired. This could allow a shared thread to use the wrong security identity when executing.

It was discovered that the ElytronManagedThread in Wildfly's Elytron subsystem stores a SecurityIdentity to run the thread with that security identity. As these threads do not necessarily terminate if the 'keep alive' time has not expired, this could allow a shared thread to use the wrong security identity when executing.
