The jbossws-common package provides JBoss Web Services Native, a web
service framework included as part of JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform. It implements the JAX-WS specification.
It was found that JBoss Web Services Native did not properly protect
against recursive entity resolution when processing Document Type
Definitions (DTD). A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by sending a
specially-crafted HTTP POST request to a deployed web service, causing
excessive CPU and memory consumption on the system hosting that service. If
the attack is repeated to consume all available network sockets, the server
will become unavailable. This flaw did not affect systems using JBoss Web
Services CXF (provided by jbossas-ws-cxf). (CVE-2011-1483)
Warning: Before applying this update, please back up your JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform’s “jboss-as/server/[PROFILE]/deploy/” directory, along
with all other customized configuration files.
Users of JBoss Web Services Native should upgrade to this updated package,
which corrects this issue. The JBoss server process must be restarted for
this update to take effect.
