---------------------------------
Summary: Patch needed for WF 10.1.0.Final for CVE-2016-4970
Key: WFLY-9209
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-9209
Project: WildFly
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 10.1.0.Final
Reporter: John Hovell
Assignee: Jason Greene
Several 3rd party security scanners we use flag Wildfly 10.1.0.Final as containing the
following DoS vulnerability:
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-4970
I have found a Redhat errata and bugzilla but neither references Wildfly specifically nor
does CVE-2016-4970 turn up on a search here in Jira.
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2016-4970
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1343616
I am trying to understand if Wildfly team believes WF 10.1.0 is vulnerable and if so if
it should be patched. I understand that WF 11 has an upgraded version of Netty which is
not vulnerable to this CVE, but it is still in beta and security patches shouldn't
need a major version upgrade.
I am also trying to understand the official channel that the Wildfly project uses to track
security errata as a search for "CVE" here only turns up ~3 other issues. Are
the above Redhat links the place to look? And if so should Wildfly be marked as not
affected, or why do they only refer to very very old versions of JBoss? I'd still be
confused however how WF wouldn't be affected as it seems to contain
wildfly/modules/system/layers/base/io/netty/main/netty-all-4.0.33.Final.jar which does not
appear to be back-ported with a fix.
