CVE-2010-3708: The serialization implementation in JBoss Drools in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (aka JBos...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects legacy Red Hat JBoss platforms using Drools serialization. A remote attacker may be able to make the server load embedded class content and run code. For businesses still operating these older JBoss EAP or SOA Platform versions, the concern is unauthorized code execution on an application server. Exposure is most likely in legacy Red Hat JBoss EAP 4.3 or JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 4.2/4.3 deployments that include Drools functionality. The supplied source bundle does not provide CPEs, deployment prerequisites, or affected component paths. Prioritize this for remediation if any legacy JBoss EAP 4.3 or Enterprise SOA Platform 4.2/4.3 systems remain in service, especially where exposed to untrusted users. The age of the CVE reduces novelty, but remote code execution on application servers remains high business risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory JBoss EAP and Enterprise SOA Platform versions in production and staging.; Apply the relevant Red Hat security advisories for affected JBoss packages.; For JBoss EAP 4.3, verify upgrade to 4.3.0.CP09 or later where applicable..
