Red Hat JBoss EAP version 5 is vulnerable to a deserialization of untrusted data in the JMX endpoint when deserializes the credentials passed to it. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability resulting in a denial of service attack.

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Jboss_enterprise_application_platform Redhat 5.0.0 (including) 5.0.0 (including)

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
