Hi,

Obviously JBoss opens up a number of TCP ports.  I'm wandering what
security risks there may be associated with each of these, assuming the
machine running JBoss is accessible via the Internet.

In my configuration, the following ports are being opened up.  (I'm
using Tomcat with JBoss in separate processes.)

1099 - RMI registry
3158 - ?
3159 - ?
3165 - ?
4444 - RMI Object Port
5555 - ?
7990 - ?
8000 - Tomcat HTTP connector
8007 - Tomcat Ajp23 connector
8082 - JMX
8083 - ?

Are there any security risks with these ports?  Should I take special
precautions to disable some of these?  If so, which ones?

The issues with port 8000 (Tomcat HTTP connector) are obvious.  I assume
the issues with Ajp23 are similar, even though the protocol is
different.

Do most people turn the JMX interface off for deployment?  Or is there a
way to limit the IP addresses which can access the JMX information?

What about the other ports?  (I think one or more of them is used by
SpyderMQ.  Any concerns there?)

Thanks for any help,
- Keith
