But JBoss AS 7.1.1 was just released last year.
that is a long time ago for an active community project. As Jesper mentioned there are lots of fixes and new features and if you need changes you have to use the latest community version.
Other option is to find the related bug and backport the fix using the sources and patch your installation.
If you want to have a supported version you can buy a subscription and use the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP), here the latest release is EAP6.1 which is based on the community AS7.2.
With the EAP subscripton you can open a support ticked and if there is a bug you can have a patch for that, as the EAP version will be supported for a longer time, see the Red Hat support policy page
