tomcat:catalina@4.1.9 vulnerabilities

tomcat:catalina is a library that contains Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF). It allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that manipulate application deployment via the POST method, as demonstrated by a /manager/html/undeploy?path= URI. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this report, stating that the Apache Tomcat Security team has not accepted any reports of CSRF attacks against the Manager application ... as they require a reckless system administrator.

There is no fixed version for tomcat:catalina.

tomcat:catalina is a library that contains Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When using a RequestDispatcher obtained from the Request, the target path was normalised before the query string was removed. A request that included a specially crafted request parameter could be used to access content that would otherwise be protected by a security constraint or by locating it in under the WEB-INF directory. This was fixed in revisions 782763 and783292.

tomcat:catalina is a library that contains Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). The calendar example application in the examples web application contains an XSS flaw due to invalid HTML which renders the XSS filtering protection ineffective. This allows an attack using the time attribute.

Upgrade tomcat:catalina to version 4.1.40, 5.5.28 or higher.

tomcat:catalina is a library that contains Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass. By default, Tomcat automatically deploys any directories placed in ahost's appBase. This behaviour is controlled by the autoDeploy attributeofwhich defaults to true. Depending on circumstances, files normally protected by one or more security constraints may be deployed without those security constraints, making them accessible without authentication.

Note: This issue only affects Windows platforms.This was fixed in revision 892815.

tomcat:catalina is a library that contains Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. It was discovered that it was possible for a web application to access any global JNDI resource whether an explicit ResourceLink had been configured or not.

Upgrade tomcat:catalina to version 5.5.24 or higher.

tomcat:catalina is a library that contains Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Timing Attack. The setGlobalContext method in ResourceLinkFactory.java does not consider whether callers to this method are authorized, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and read or write to arbitrary application data, or cause a denial of service (application disruption), via a web application that sets a crafted global context.

Upgrade tomcat:catalina to version 5.5.24 or higher.

tomcat:catalina Apache Tomcat before 5.5.35, 6.x before 6.0.35, and 7.x before 7.0.23 computes hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted parameters.
