Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat JBoss BRMS 6.2.2 update
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: An update is now available for Red Hat JBoss BRMS. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. 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 BRMS is a business rules management system for the management, storage, creation, modification, and deployment of JBoss Rules. This release of Red Hat JBoss BRMS 6.2.2 serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss BRMS 6.2.1, and includes bug fixes and enhancements, which are documented in the README.txt file included with the patch files. Security Fix(es): * A deserialization flaw allowing remote code execution was found in the BeanShell library. If BeanShell was on the classpath, it could permit code execution if another part of the application deserialized objects involving a specially constructed chain of classes. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application using the BeanShell library. (CVE-2016-2510)
