I intended to ask, if I should upgrade JBoss to the latest "patchlevel" for security reasons.
E.g. It is recommended to upgrade apache 2.0.x to the latest version 2.0.58, because security-holes have been fixed in this version.

Is this also best practice for JBoss - so if I use 3.2.3 should I go for 3.2.8 SP1 to have all known bugs fixed... or are there no security-related fixes in JBoss?

The server has been setup with regard to security a while ago (not from me)... and of course is not fully exposed to the net.
Anyhow - I would be very interested in more information on securing JBoss to double-check our settings and learn from more experienced users...

Thx for the help,
