Tech GuruQuick Answer
The authority published RHSA-2026:73981 for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 6.2 on RHEL 8, 9, and 10. Red Hat published JBoss Web Server 6.2.5 with the advisory-specific corrected packages or signed container-image digests for the listed CVEs. Affected deployments should be matched to the authority's exact scope and moved to the supported fixed release.
Confirm Scope And Apply The Supported Fix

What Changed
Red Hat published JBoss Web Server 6.2.5 with the advisory-specific corrected packages or signed container-image digests for the listed CVEs.
What To Validate Now
- Inventory. Locate Red Hat JBoss Web Server 6.2 on RHEL 8, 9, and 10 deployments, versions, enabled features, exposure paths, owners, and dependent services.
- Establish applicability. Match entitlement, product stream, architecture, source package or image repository, and each advisory's product status. Do not apply one branch's build or digest to another branch.
- Remediate. Use the supported Red Hat channel to deploy Red Hat JBoss Web Server 6.2.5, including jws6-tomcat 10.1.49-16.redhat_00016.1 for the matching RHEL stream. For containers, pin and verify the exact signed digest listed for the matching architecture and accelerator variant.
- Validate. Confirm the installed package build or running image digest, restart or redeploy affected workloads as required, validate application, cluster, accelerator, and recovery workflows, and record exceptions.
- Retain evidence. Preserve asset and owner identifiers, the applicability decision, before-and-after versions, change approval, installation output, validation results, and any exception or rollback record.
Operational Cautions
Confirm entitlement and branch support, test package or image compatibility, drain and redeploy clustered workloads deliberately, preserve prior digests and rollback evidence, and do not infer exploitation from severity.
Evidence To Retain
- Exact product, release stream, package or application version, enabled feature, environment, and accountable owner.
- UTC timestamps, authority revision, approved change record, installer or package-manager output, and resulting version.
- Relevant logs and monitoring evidence, test results, exceptions, compensating controls, and rollback decisions.
