Jboss Application Server as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform 5.2 is susceptible to a remote code execution vulnerability because the doFilter method in the ReadOnlyAccessFilter of the HTTP Invoker does not restrict classes for which it performs deserialization, thus allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted serialized data.
