Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform update for undertow

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU96900

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7885

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure sharing of resources where the ProxyProtocolReadListener reuses the same StringBuilder instance across multiple requests. As a result, different requests may share the same StringBuilder instance, potentially leading to information leakage between requests or responses. In some cases, a value from a previous request or response may be erroneously reused, which could lead to unintended data exposure.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
