2. Description:

JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform is the open source implementation of the
Java EE suite of services and Portal services running atop JBoss Enterprise

provide an integrated experience.

Multiple reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in GateIn

lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the user's GateIn
Portal session. (CVE-2012-5531)
