Description Adam Mariš 2017-08-11 13:58:56 UTC 
The CORS Filter did not add an HTTP Vary header indicating that the response varies depending on Origin. This permitted client and server side cache poisoning in some circumstances.

Affected versions: 7.0.41 to 7.0.78, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.44, 8.5.0 to 8.5.15

Created jbossweb tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: openshift-1 [bug 1480619]


Created tomcat tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: epel-6 [bug 1480621]
Affects: fedora-all [bug 1480620]
Comment 3 Jason Shepherd 2017-08-22 01:46:40 UTC 
EAP 6 doesn't not contain the vulnerable CORSFilter. Any products based on EAP 6 would not be affected, unless they add the CORSFilter in their layered code.

Marking JON-3 as NOTAFFECTED
