CVE-2012-4550

A flaw was found in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. When role-based authorization is used for Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) access, the system does not correctly call the necessary authorization modules. This prevents Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) permissions from being applied, allowing remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to EJBs.

This prevents Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) permissions from being applied, allowing remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to EJBs.

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (tambíen conocido como JBoss EAP o JBEAP) anteriores a v6.0.1, cuando se usa una autorización basada en roles para acceder a Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), no llama a los módulos de autorización de forma adecuada, lo que evita que se puedan usar los permisos JACC de ser aplicados y permiten a atacantes remotos obtener acceso a EJB.
