Description

The default configuration of the JBossAs component in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (aka JBossEAP or EAP), possibly 4.2 before CP04 and 4.3 before CP02, when a production environment is enabled, sets the DownloadServerClasses property to true, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (non-EJB classes) via a download request, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-3273.

Affected products

Red Hat JBoss EAP: through 4.2; through 4.3; 4.2, 4.2-cp01, 4.2-cp02, 4.3
