Notes

Topic
Red Hat JBoss Web Server 6.1.0 zip release is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, and Windows Server. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details
Red Hat JBoss Web Server is a fully integrated and certified set of components for hosting Java web applications. It is comprised of the Apache Tomcat Servlet container, JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), the PicketLink Vault extension for Apache Tomcat, and the Tomcat Native library. This release of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 6.1.0 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 6.0.5. This release includes bug fixes, enhancements and component upgrades, which are documented in the Release Notes that are linked to in the References section. Security Fix(es): * org.apache.tomcat/tomcat: Apache Tomcat: Authentication bypass when using Jakarta Authentication API [jws-6] (CVE-2024-52316) * tomcat: Potential RCE and/or information disclosure and/or information corruption with partial PUT [jws-6] (CVE-2025-24813) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

While Red Hat concurs with the worst-case assessment of Important for the base flaw, all products are assessed as Low, per individual risk assessment and in concurrence with Apache's rating.\n\nRed Hat Satellite is not directly impacted by this issue as it does not include the affected Tomcat package.

               text: "This vulnerability has a Moderate impact (rather than Important) because it requires multiple non-default configurations to be exploitable, significantly limiting its impact in typical deployments. For remote code execution (RCE), exploitation requires both file-based session persistence and a library vulnerable to deserialization, further reducing its likelihood. For information disclosure or file injection, the attack is only possible if writes are enabled for the default servlet, partial PUT requests are supported, and sensitive file uploads occur within a publicly writable directory. The combination of all three of these conditions is uncommon in secure environments. Since most modern Tomcat deployments do not meet all these criteria simultaneously, the overall risk is reduced\n\nThe Tomcat package as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 is not affected by this vulnerability because the vulnerable code was introduced in a newer Tomcat version.\n\nRed Hat Satellite is not directly impacted by this issue as it does not include the affected Tomcat package. However, Tomcat is consumed by Candlepin, a component of Satellite. Red Hat Satellite users are advised to check the impact state of Red Hat Enterprise Linux as any necessary fixes will be distributed through the platform. Satellite configuration does not contain affected parameters that would make Tomcat vulnerable, therefore, even if a vulnerable Tomcat version is shipped with affected RHEL release alongside Satellite, there is no chance of it being exposed to flaw in Red Hat Satellite.",
