How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream eap7-apache-cxf package and not the eap7-apache-cxf package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability in Apache CXF before versions 3.5.5 and 3.4.10 allows an attacker to perform a remote directory listing or code exfiltration. The vulnerability only applies when the CXFServlet is configured with both the static-resources-list and redirect-query-check attributes. These attributes are not supposed to be used together, and so the vulnerability can only arise if the CXF service is misconfigured.
