How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina to version 9.0.121, 10.1.58, 11.0.25 or higher.

Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Replay Attack in the DIGEST authenticator’s nonce-count window handling. An attacker can reuse a valid DIGEST-authenticated request once by sending a request with a nonce count at the upper boundary of the replay window before the window has filled. This allows a captured authentication message to be replayed successfully within the same nonce-count window, letting the attacker impersonate an authenticated user and perform requests accepted as that user.

Notes

  • The issue was fixed in Apache Tomcat 10.1.58, but the release vote for the 10.1.58 release candidate did not pass. Therefore, although users must download 10.1.59 to obtain a version that includes a fix for this issue, version 10.1.58 is not included in the list of affected versions.
