About WildFly

WildFly's first 41.x patch is a security release, with three IIOP CVEs closed at once

WildFly runs a steady train: a Beta, a .0.Final, then a patch release that consolidates fixes and component upgrades. WildFly 41 arrived in July with OIDC scope and request-object support promoted out of preview. The first patch on that line is dominated by security — three CVEs in the IIOP stack covering unauthenticated class loading, a missing-authentication path on the NameService, and a pre-auth denial of service on the listener — plus a long run of dependency upgrades that resolve further advisories.
