NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat6-el-2.1-api package and not the tomcat6-el-2.1-api package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Tomcat 6 DIGEST authentication functionality as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by performing a replay attack after a nonce becomes stale. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-5887.
