    Path Equivalence

    org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina is a Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Path Equivalence in the doPut() function in DefaultServlet.java, which insecurely replaces path separators with .s.

    If the Default Servlet is configured with writes enabled - which it is not by default - a user can exploit Tomcat's partial PUT functionality to achieve code execution via deserialization. The target URL containing sensitive uploaded files must be a sub-directory of a target URL for public uploads, and the malicious user must know the names of the target sensitive files, which are also uploaded using a partial PUT. If both attacker and target application are using the default storage location and it contains a library that deserializes untrusted code, the attacker can trigger the execution of malicious code.

    How to fix Path Equivalence?

    Upgrade org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina to version 9.0.99, 10.1.35, 11.0.3 or higher.

    Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition

    org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina is a Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition due to imcomplete mitigation advice associated with CVE-2024-50379 in the file-handling process with servlet write enabled.

    In addition to upgrading to the fixed version, users are advised to apply the following mitigations, depending on which version of Java they are using with Tomcat :

    1. running on Java 8 or Java 11: the system property sun.io.useCanonCaches must be explicitly set to false (it defaults to true)

    2. running on Java 17: the system property sun.io.useCanonCaches, if set, must be set to false (it defaults to false)

    3. running on Java 21 onwards: no further configuration is required (the system property and the problematic cache have been removed)

    How to fix Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition?

    Upgrade org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina to version 9.0.98, 10.1.34, 11.0.2 or higher.

    Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition

    org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina is a Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition. On case insensitive file systems, when the default servlet is write-enabled, an attacker can upload a malicious file containing executable code and bypass case sensitivity checks, causing it to be treated as a JSP and executed.

    This vector has been observed when the application is under load and read and upload operations are performed on the same file simultaneously.

    Note:

    The default readonly initialization parameter value of true is not vulnerable.

    This is related to CVE-2024-56337 where additional configurations are defined to fully mitigate this issue as upgrading to the fixed version doesn't fully mitigate this vulnerability;

    In addition to upgrading to the fixed version, users are advised to apply the following mitigations, depending on which version of Java they are using with Tomcat :

    1. running on Java 8 or Java 11: the system property sun.io.useCanonCaches must be explicitly set to false (it defaults to true)

    2. running on Java 17: the system property sun.io.useCanonCaches, if set, must be set to false (it defaults to false)

    3. running on Java 21 onwards: no further configuration is required (the system property and the problematic cache have been removed)

    Uncaught Exception

    org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina is a Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception due to the custom Jakarta Authentication ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the authentication process without setting an HTTP status to indicate failure. An attacker can gain unauthorized access by exploiting this unchecked error condition.

    Note:

    This is only exploitable if Tomcat is configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication ServerAuthContext component that behaves in this way. According to the maintainers, no such cases are known.

    How to fix Uncaught Exception?

    Upgrade org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina to version 9.0.96, 10.1.31, 11.0.0 or higher.

    Improper Input Validation

    org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina is a Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to the improper parsing of HTTP trailer headers. An attacker can manipulate the server into treating a single request as multiple requests by sending a trailer header that exceeds the header size limit. This could lead to request smuggling when the server is behind a reverse proxy.

    How to fix Improper Input Validation?

    Upgrade org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina to version 8.5.96, 9.0.83, 10.1.16, 11.0.0-M10 or higher.

    Unprotected Transport of Credentials

    org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina is a Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unprotected Transport of Credentials when using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP, in which the X-Forwarded-Proto header is set to https. Session cookies do not include the secure attribute, so the user agent may transmit the session cookie over an insecure channel.

    How to fix Unprotected Transport of Credentials?

    Insufficient Technical Documentation

    org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina is a Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Technical Documentation. The documentation for the EncryptInterceptor incorrectly stated it enabled Tomcat clustering to run over an untrusted network. This was not correct. While the EncryptInterceptor does provide confidentiality and integrity protection, it does not protect against all risks associated with running over any untrusted network, particularly DoS risks.

    Note: The documentation was updated in version 9.0.63.

    How to fix Insufficient Technical Documentation?

    Upgrade org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina to version 9.0.63 or higher.
