NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-admin-webapps package and not the tomcat-admin-webapps package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The Tomcat package on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 through 7, JBoss Web Server 3.0, and JBoss EWS 2 uses weak permissions for (1) /etc/sysconfig/tomcat and (2) /etc/tomcat/tomcat.conf, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging membership in the tomcat group.
