Description Jason Shepherd 2018-01-03 05:40:50 UTC
A vulnerability was found in the way RemoteMessageChannel, introduced in jboss-remoting versions 3.3.10.Final-redhat-1, reads from an empty buffer. An attacker could use this flaw to cause denial of service via high CPU caused by an infinite loop.

Comment 4 Jason Shepherd 2018-01-03 05:52:17 UTC
By default JBoss EAP 7.x doesn't expose port 4447 as it uses HTTP-REMOTING over port 8080. Reference:

Comment 5 Jason Shepherd 2018-01-03 05:56:21 UTC
I couldn't reproduce this issue on EAP 7.0.8 or 7.1.0 after exposing the 'native' connector as explained in previous comment (#4).
