TITLE

Apache Log4j CVE-2017-5645 Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

In Apache Log4j 2.x before 2.8.2, when using the TCP socket server or UDP socket server to receive serialized log events from another application, a specially crafted binary payload can be sent that, when deserialized, can execute arbitrary code. Apache Log4j is prone to remote code-execution vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploits will result in denial-of-service conditions. Apache Log4j 2.0-alpha1 through 2.8.1 are vulnerable. Apache Log4j is a Java-based open source logging tool developed by the Apache Software Foundation. Security Fix(es): * It was found that Apache Lucene would accept an object from an unauthenticated user that could be manipulated through subsequent post requests. (CVE-2017-5645) * The hotrod java client in infinispan automatically deserializes bytearray message contents in certain events. Solution: The References section of this erratum contains a download link (you must log in to download the update). Description: 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 HTTP Server, the Apache Tomcat Servlet container, Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk), JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), Hibernate, and the Tomcat Native library. This release of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 3.1 Service Pack 1 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 3.1, and includes bug fixes, which are documented in the Release Notes document linked to in the References. (CVE-2017-5645) * A vulnerability was discovered in tomcat's handling of pipelined requests when "Sendfile" was used. If sendfile processing completed quickly, it was possible for the Processor to be added to the processor cache twice. This could lead to invalid responses or information disclosure. (CVE-2017-5647) * A vulnerability was discovered in the error page mechanism in Tomcat's DefaultServlet implementation. A crafted HTTP request could cause undesired side effects, possibly including the removal or replacement of the custom error page. (CVE-2017-5664) * A vulnerability was discovered in tomcat. When running an untrusted application under a SecurityManager it was possible, under some circumstances, for that application to retain references to the request or response objects and thereby access and/or modify information associated with another web application. (CVE-2017-5648) 4. Solution: Before applying the update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Web Server installation (including all applications and configuration files). Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 1441205 - CVE-2017-5647 tomcat: Incorrect handling of pipelined requests when send file was used 1441223 - CVE-2017-5648 tomcat: Calls to application listeners did not use the appropriate facade object 1443635 - CVE-2017-5645 log4j: Socket receiver deserialization vulnerability 1459158 - CVE-2017-5664 tomcat: Security constrained bypass in error page mechanism 6. JIRA issues fixed (https://issues.jboss.org/): JWS-657 - tomcat-native installs RHEL apr in addition to jbcs-httpd24-httpd-libs JWS-667 - Subject incorrectly removed from user session JWS-695 - tomcat7_t and tomcat8_t domains are in unconfined_domain JWS-709 - RPM missing selinux-policy dependency JWS-716 - Backport 60087 for Tomcat 8 JWS-717 - RFC 7230/3986 url requirement that prevents unencoded curly braces should be optional, since it breaks existing sites JWS-721 - CORS filter Vary header missing JWS-725 - /usr/share/tomcat7 needs world execute permissions to function on openshift v2 JWS-741 - Configurations in conf.d are not applied JWS-760 - [ASF BZ 59961] Provide an option to enable/disable processing of Class-Path entry in a jar's manifest file 7. (CVE-2017-7525) Red Hat would like to thank Liao Xinxi (NSFOCUS) for reporting CVE-2017-7525. (CVE-2017-5645) * It was found that XStream contains a vulnerability that allows a maliciously crafted file to be parsed successfully which could cause an application crash. The crash occurs if the file that is being fed into XStream input stream contains an instances of the primitive type 'void'. An attacker could use this flaw to create a denial of service on the target system. (CVE-2017-7957) 3. It is recommended to halt the server by stopping the JBoss Application Server process before installing this update; after installing the update, restart the server by starting the JBoss Application Server process. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: rh-java-common-log4j security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:1417-01 Product: Red Hat Software Collections Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:1417 Issue date: 2017-06-08 CVE Names: CVE-2017-5645 ===================================================================== 1.
