(Red Hat Issues Fix) JBoss Input Validation Hole in JavaServer Faces Permits Cross-Site Scripting Attacks and Access Control Bug in Status Servlet Lets Remote Users Obtain Information
SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1020631
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1020631
CVE Reference:   CVE-2008-1285, CVE-2008-3273   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Aug 6 2008
Impact:   Disclosure of authentication information, Disclosure of system information, Disclosure of user information, Execution of arbitrary code via network, Modification of user information
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): prior to 4.2.0.CP03
Description:   Two vulnerabilities were reported in JBoss. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks. A remote user can determine information about deployed web contexts.

The JavaServer Faces (JSF) component does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the input [CVE-2008-1285]. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the JBoss software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.

A remote user can access the status servlet to obtain information about deployed web contexts [CVE-2008-3273].
Impact:   A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the JBoss software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.

A remote user can determine details about deployed web contexts on the target system.
Solution:   Red Hat has released a fix (4.2.0.CP03).

scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. An attacker could use these flaws to
inject arbitrary web script or HTML. (CVE-2008-1285)

Unauthenticated users were able to access the status servlet, which could
allow remote attackers to acquire details about deployed web contexts.
(CVE-2008-3273)

the security fixes listed here. For the full list, refer to the JBoss EAP
4.2.0.CP03 release notes, linked to in the "References" section of this
