A vulnerability which allows for a potential privilege escalation was found in the Hibernate Validator. If a security manager is present and HV itself is allowed to access private members reflectively as per the SM's configuration, that'll allow calling code without that permission to get hold of private state. The attack vector is to declare a constraint on a private member using XML, validate an invalid instance of that type and access the private member value via ConstraintViolation#getInvalidValue().

A flaw was found in org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-mapper-asl:1.9.x libraries such that an XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability affects codehaus's jackson-mapper-asl libraries. This vulnerability is similar to CVE-2016-3720. The primary threat from this flaw is data integrity.

A flaw was found in the Java logging library Apache Log4j in version 1.x . This allows a remote attacker to execute code on the server if the deployed application is configured to use JMSAppender.

In 1.x you will find that there are two places where lookups are done - that is JMSAppender.java:207 and JMSAppender.java:222 - if you set TopicBindingName or TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName to something that JNDI can handle - for example "ldap://host:port/a" JNDI will do exactly the same thing it does for 2.x - so 1.x is vulnerable, just attack vector is "safer" as it depends on configuration rather than user input

This flaw in Log4j 2.x is tracked via CVE-2021-44228

It was discovered that the jboss init script as used in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.7.GA performed unsafe file handling which could result in local privilege escalation. This issue is a result of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-8656.
