Dear all, Could anyone help us with finding security patch for EAServer 6.3.1.  there are serval vulnerabilities of 6.3.1 version,such as: 1) Directory traversal 2) XML entity injection 3) OS command execution but we could not find the EBF, not any of link of sybase now, all link points to SAP frontpage. Thank you so much!~ Best regards, Ke Yuan

Yuan,

There will be no security patch for EAServer 6.3.1 due to it being out of mainstream support as of 01/31/2015.  I am not sure if you are using EAServer with RepConnector? If that is the case the upgrade path is to use JBOSS or WebLogic in replacement of EAServer.  Those two app servers are the only one Replication Server Repconnector supports now.

Thank you Terry, upgrade to JBOSS or WebLogic is impossible(from our vendor's reply),  anyway, thank you so much !

Hi yuan

I am curious why your vendor would have the position to not use some other application sever since EAServer is no longer being moved forward as a product and is out of support? 

Are you using RepConnector in EAServer currently?
