Red Hat · Red Hat Jboss Enterprise Application Platform · CVE-2016-7046
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) version 7
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, consuming CPU and disk resources, by sending a long URL when the platform operates as a reverse-proxy with default buffer sizes. This can lead to a java.nio.BufferOverflowException in Undertow.
**Recommendations**
For Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) version 7, consider adjusting the default buffer sizes to prevent excessive CPU and disk consumption when handling long URL proxy requests. As a temporary workaround, restrict the maximum allowed URL length to minimize the risk of exploitation.
