RedHat: RHSA-2018-0627:01 Important: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Summary
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is a platform for Java
applications based on the JBoss Application Server.
This asynchronous patch is a security update for slf4j package in Red Hat
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.
Security Fix(es):
* An XML deserialization vulnerability was discovered in slf4j's EventData
which accepts xml serialized string and can lead to arbitrary code
execution. (CVE-2018-8088)
The Simple Logging Facade for Java or (SLF4J) is a simple facade for
various logging APIs allowing the end-user to plug in the desired
implementation at deployment time. SLF4J also allows for a gradual
migration path away from Jakarta Commons Logging (JCL).
Red Hat would like to thank Chris McCown for reporting CVE-2018-8088.
