First published: Tue Jul 27 2010(Updated: )
The JBoss Seam Framework is an application framework for building web<br>applications in Java.<br>An input sanitization flaw was found in the way JBoss Seam processed<br>certain parametrized JBoss Expression Language (EL) expressions. A remote<br>attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code via a URL,<br>containing appended, specially-crafted expression language parameters,<br>provided to certain applications based on the JBoss Seam framework. Note: A<br>properly configured and enabled Java Security Manager would prevent<br>exploitation of this flaw. (CVE-2010-1871)<br>Red Hat would like to thank Meder Kydyraliev of the Google Security Team<br>for responsibly reporting this issue.<br>Users of jboss-seam2 should upgrade to these updated packages, which<br>contain a backported patch to correct this issue. The JBoss server process<br>must be restarted for this update to take effect.<br>
