Technical Summary
Red Hat JBoss Web Server 6.1.2 is a security update that addresses two denial of service vulnerabilities in the Apache Tomcat component of the server. CVE-2025-52520 is a general denial of service vulnerability in Apache Tomcat, while CVE-2025-48989 involves a minor HTTP/2-specific denial of service attack exploiting control frames, known as the "MadeYouReset" attack. This release replaces version 6.1.1 and includes additional bug fixes and enhancements. The advisory rates the security impact as Important and recommends updating to version 6.1.2 to mitigate these issues.
Potential Impact
