that fixes one security issue is now available from the Red Hat Customer

2. Description:

Red Hat JBoss Portal is the open source implementation of the Java EE suite
of services and Portal services running atop Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform. It comprises a set of offerings for enterprise
customers who are looking for pre-configured profiles of JBoss Middleware
components that have been tested and certified together to provide an
integrated experience.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the GateIn Portal
component. If a remote attacker could trick a user, who was logged into the
GateIn Portal interface, into visiting a specially crafted URL, it would
lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the user's GateIn
Portal session. (CVE-2013-4424)

Red Hat would like to thank Cloud Technology Development Department, Ricoh
Company, Ltd. for reporting this issue.
