Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 7, when operating as a reverse-proxy with default buffer sizes, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and disk consumption) via a long URL.
CVE-2016-7046
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.9 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 2.5% (83rd percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines at low or medium mission impact and sooner than that at high.
Exploitation none (no KEV listing, exploit record or EPSS ≥ 50%) · Automatable unknown (not published for this CVE) · Technical impact partial (CVSS below 9.0). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
