Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Decision Manager 7.12.1 security update

🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)

📋 Description

🎯 Affected products1

• RHDM 7.12.1 async

✅ Remediation

A Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux application running on JDK 9 and above might be vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) via data binding. The specific exploit requires the application to run on Tomcat as a WAR deployment. This release upgrades Spring to 5.3.18 and Spring Boot to 2.6.6 which fixes the Spring MVC and WebFlux jars. For on-premise installations, before applying the update, back up your existing installation, including all applications, configuration files, databases and database settings, and so on. It is recommended to halt the server by stopping the JBoss Application Server process before installing this update; after installing the update, restart the server by starting the JBoss Application Server process. The References section of this erratum contains a download link (you must log in to download the update). Workaround: For those who are not able to upgrade affected Spring classes to the fixed versions, there is a workaround customers can implement for their applications, via setting disallowed fields on the data binder, and denying various iterations of the string "class.*" For full implementation details, see Spring's early announcement post in the "suggested workarounds" section: https://spring.io/blog/2022/03/31/spring-framework-rce-early-announcement#suggested-workarounds
