Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: jboss-ec2-eap security update

Severity

Low

Notes

Topic: An updated jboss-ec2-eap package that fixes one security issue is now available for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low 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: jboss-ec2-eap provides JBoss Operations Network (JBoss ON) scripts for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). It was found that the "/var/cache/jboss-ec2-eap/" directory had world readable permissions when using the EC2 AMI (Amazon Machine Image) for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. A local attacker could use this flaw to read potentially sensitive information from this directory, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials. (CVE-2012-3427) Note: This flaw only affected the EC2 AMI for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2. This issue was discovered by Aleksandar Kostadinov of the Red Hat QE Team. Warning: Before applying this update, back up your JBoss Enterprise Application Platform's "server/[PROFILE]/deploy/" directory, along with all other customized configuration files. Users of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 running on EC2 should upgrade to this updated package, which corrects this issue. The JBoss server process must be restarted for this update to take effect.

CVE-2012-3427

A flaw was found in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) and EC2 Amazon Machine Image (AMI). Incorrect permissions (755) for the /var/cache/jboss-ec2-eap/ directory allow a local user to read sensitive files. This vulnerability can lead to information disclosure, specifically exposing Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
