Red Hat Jboss Fuse 6 ships some of the vulnerable artifacts as bundled artifacts in ops4j pax web, however there is no use of these artifacts in Fuse itself, the artifacts are also prevented from loading with a deny list in karaf, for these reasons we believe the impact upon Fuse 6.3 is low. The same also applies to Red Hat Fuse 7. This vulnerability is out of security support scope for the following products: * Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6 Please refer to https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/jboss_notes for more details. Additional references: https://tomcat.apache.org/security-10.html#Fixed_in_Apache_Tomcat_10.0.4 https://tomcat.apache.org/security-9.html#Fixed_in_Apache_Tomcat_9.0.44 https://tomcat.apache.org/security-8.html#Fixed_in_Apache_Tomcat_8.5.64 Tomcat packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and earlier are not affected, as they do not include the affected OpenSSLEngine. It seems support for the OpenSSL engine for JSSE was introduced in Tomcat version 8.5.0: https://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html#Apache_Tomcat_8.x The section for "Apache Tomcat 8.5.x" notes: Adds support for using OpenSSL for TLS support with the JSSE connectors (NIO and NIO2) Created tomcat:master/tomcat tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 2005887] This issue has been addressed in the following products: Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.5 on RHEL 7 Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.5 on RHEL 8 Via RHSA-2021:3741 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:3741 This issue has been addressed in the following products: Red Hat JBoss Web Server Via RHSA-2021:3743 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:3743 This bug is now closed.
