REDHAT-BUG-823392

First published: Mon May 21 2012(Updated: )

When a JGroups channel is started, the JGroups diagnostics service will be enabled by default with no authentication. This service is exposed via IP multicast. On JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6, an attacker on an adjacent network can exploit this flaw to read diagnostics information and invoke JMX operations on the server (limited remote code execution). On other affected JBoss products, an attacker on an adjacent network can exploit this flaw only to read diagnostics information (information disclosure).
