2. Description:

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java
applications based on JBoss Application Server 7.

It was found that the Apache commons-collections library permitted code
execution when deserializing objects involving a specially constructed
chain of classes. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute
arbitrary code with the permissions of the application using the
commons-collections library. (CVE-2015-7501)

Further information about the commons-collections flaw may be found at:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2045023

It was found that JBoss EAP did not properly authorize a user performing a
shut down. A remote user with the Monitor, Deployer, or Auditor role could
use this flaw to shut down the EAP server, which is an action restricted to
admin users. (CVE-2015-5304)

The CVE-2015-5304 issue was discovered by Ladislav Thon of Red Hat
Middleware Quality Engineering.

This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform 6.4.4, and includes bug fixes and enhancements.
Documentation for these changes is available from the link in the
References section.

All users of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4 as provided
