Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1288-01 - Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 is a platform for Java applications based on JBoss Application Server 7. It was discovered that the implementation of org.hibernate.validator.util.ReflectionHelper together with the permissions required to run Hibernate Validator under the Java Security Manager could allow a malicious application deployed in the same application container to execute several actions with escalated privileges, which might otherwise not be possible. This flaw could be used to perform various attacks, including but not restricted to, arbitrary code execution in systems that are otherwise secured by the Java Security Manager.
