NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat7-javadoc package and not the tomcat7-javadoc package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
Apache Tomcat Native 1.2.0 to 1.2.16 and 1.1.23 to 1.1.34 has a flaw that does not properly check OCSP pre-produced responses, which are lists (multiple entries) of certificate statuses. Subsequently, revoked client certificates may not be properly identified, allowing for users to authenticate with revoked certificates to connections that require mutual TLS. Users not using OCSP checks are not affected by this vulnerability.
