NVD Description

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

JBoss RESTEasy before version 3.1.2 could be forced into parsing a request with YamlProvider, resulting in unmarshalling of potentially untrusted data which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with RESTEasy application permissions.
