DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has acknowledged a vulnerability in multiple JBoss products,
which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within JBoss Web Services

(Document Type Definitions), which can be exploited to cause CPU
resource exhaustion by using a specially crafted POST HTTP request.

vendor's advisories for details):
* JBoss Communications Platform 1.2.11
* JBoss Communications Platform 5.1.1
* JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2.0.CP09
* JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3.0
* JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.1.1
* JBoss Enterprise BRMS Platform 5.1.0
* JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 4.3.CP06
* JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.1.1
* JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 4.2.CP05 and 4.3.CP05
* JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 5.1.0
* JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.1
