Refer to the readme file included with the patchfiles for information about these fixes.The following security issues are also resolved with this update:A flaw was found in the logging performed during deserialization of theBrokerFactory class in Apache OpenJPA. A remote attacker able to supply aserialized instance of the BrokerFactory class, which will be deserializedon a server, could use this flaw to write an executable file to theserver's file system. (CVE-2013-1768)A flaw in JRuby's JSON gem allowed remote attacks by creating differenttypes of malicious objects. For example, it could initiate a denial ofservice attack through resource consumption by using a JSON document tocreate arbitrary Ruby symbols, which were never garbage collected. It couldalso be exploited to create internal objects which could allow a SQLinjection attack. (CVE-2013-0269)It was discovered that JRuby's REXML library did not properly restrict XMLentity expansion. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial ofservice by tricking a Ruby application using REXML to read text nodes fromspecially-crafted XML content, which will result in REXML consuming largeamounts of system memory. (CVE-2013-1821)Note: Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.0.0 ships JRuby as part of the camel-rubycomponent, which allows users to define Camel routes in Ruby. The defaultuse of JRuby in Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.0.0 does not appear to expose eitherCVE-2013-0269 or CVE-2013-1821. If the version of JRuby shipped with RedHat JBoss Fuse 6.0.0 was used to build a custom application, then theseflaws could be exposed.Multiple denial of service flaws were found in the way the Apache CXF StAXparser implementation processed certain XML files. If a web serviceutilized the StAX parser, a remote attacker could provide aspecially-crafted XML file that, when processed, would lead to excessiveCPU and memory consumption. (CVE-2013-2160)Red Hat would like to thank Ruby on Rails upstream for reportingCVE-2013-0269, and Andreas Falkenberg of SEC Consult Deutschland GmbH, andChristian Mainka, Juraj Somorovsky and Joerg Schwenk of Ruhr-UniversityBochum for reporting CVE-2013-2160.
