Description

The JBoss product is available as Open Source; however, the Red Hat vendor provides updates, patches and support for the JBoss product. It is imperative that patches and updates be applied to JBoss in a timely manner as many attacks against JBoss focus on unpatched systems. It is critical that support be obtained and made available.
