SV-76815r1_rule Production JBoss servers must be supported by the vendor.

Vulnerability discussion

The JBoss product is available as Open Source; however, the Red Hat vendor provides updates, patches and support for the JBoss product. It is imperative that patches and updates be applied to JBoss in a timely manner as many attacks against JBoss focus on unpatched systems. It is critical that support be obtained and made available.

Check content

Interview the system admin and have them either show documented proof of current support, or have them demonstrate their ability to access the Red Hat Enterprise Support portal. Verify Red Hat support includes coverage for the JBoss product. If there is no current and active support from the vendor, this is a finding.

Fix text

Obtain vendor support from Red Hat.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
