Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2012:1376 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Low: jboss-ec2-eap security update 2012-10-16 17:22:13 UTC

Description David Jorm 2012-07-26 04:31:51 UTC 
On the JBoss EAP 5 EC2 AMI, the /var/cache/jboss-ec2-eap directory has default permissions of 755. A local attacker could exploit these insecure permissions to read potentially sensitive information from this directory, such as AWS credentials.
