Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.3.0 update

Important

A denial of service flaw was found in the way httpd's mod_deflate module handled request body decompression (configured via the "DEFLATE" input filter). A remote attacker able to send a request whose body would be decompressed could use this flaw to consume an excessive amount of system memory and CPU on the target system.

CWE-400 - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

A flaw was found in the WebSocket08FrameDecoder implementation that could allow a remote attacker to trigger an Out Of Memory Exception by issuing a series of TextWebSocketFrame and ContinuationWebSocketFrames. Depending on the server configuration, this could lead to a denial of service.

CWE-400 - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

A race condition flaw, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, was found in the mod_status httpd module. A remote attacker able to access a status page served by mod_status on a server using a threaded Multi-Processing Module (MPM) could send a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd child process to crash or, possibly, allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the "apache" user.

CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
