Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.3.0 update

Notes

Topic
Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.3.0, which fixes one security issue, various bugs, and adds enhancements, is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
Details
Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit combines popular open source web frameworks into a single solution for Java applications. This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.2.0, and includes bug fixes and enhancements. Refer to the 2.3.0 Release Notes for information on the most significant of these changes, available shortly from https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/ This release also fixes the following security issue: A flaw was found in the way RichFaces ResourceBuilderImpl handled deserialization. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger the execution of the deserialization methods in any serializable class deployed on the server. This could lead to a variety of security impacts depending on the deserialization logic of these classes. (CVE-2013-2165) The fix for this issue introduces a whitelist to limit classes that can be deserialized by RichFaces. If you require to whitelist a class that is not already listed, for example, a custom class, you can achieve this by following one of these methods: Method 1: Implementing the SerializableResource interface. In RichFaces 3, this is defined at org.ajax4jsf.resource.SerializableResource and in RichFaces 4/5, at org.richfaces.resource.SerializableResource. Method 2: Adding the class to the resource-serialization.properties file (a default properties file is provided once this update is applied). To do this you can extend the framework provided properties file that is available under org.ajax4jsf.resource in RichFaces 3 and org.richfaces.resource in RichFaces 4/5. The modified properties file has to be copied into the classpath of your deployment under the version-specific packages. Where possible, it is recommended that Method 1 be followed. Red Hat would like to thank Takeshi Terada (Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, Inc.) for reporting this issue. Warning: Before applying this update, back up your existing installation of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform or Red Hat JBoss Web Server, and applications deployed to it. All users of Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.2.0 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to upgrade to Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.3.0.
