1. Summary:
An update for JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.2 that fixes one security
issue is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal.
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.
2. Description:
JBoss Cache is the clustering backbone for data distribution in JBoss
Enterprise Web Platform. It provides the backing implementation
for web session replication, stateful session bean replication and entity
caching.
It was found that NonManagedConnectionFactory would log the username and
password in plain text when an exception was thrown. This could lead to the
exposure of authentication credentials if local users had permissions to
read the log file. (CVE-2012-0034)
Warning: Before applying this update, back up your existing JBoss
Enterprise Web Platform's
"jboss-as-web/server/production/lib/jbosscache-core.jar" file.
All users of JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.2 as provided from the Red
Hat Customer Portal are advised to install this update. Refer to the
Solution section for installation information.

log in to download the update).
To apply this update:
1) Before applying this update, back up your existing JBoss Enterprise
Web Platform's "jboss-as-web/server/production/lib/jbosscache-core.jar"
file.
2) Download the update.
3) Rename the jbosscache-core-JBPAPP-7852-signed.jar file provided by the
ZIP file to jbosscache-core.jar, and then copy it to the

jbosscache-core.jar.
