CVE-2019-0221 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:8 jws5-tomcat to version 0:9.0.21-10.redhat_4.1.el8jws or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2019:3929.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jws5-tomcat package and not the jws5-tomcat package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
The SSI printenv command in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.39 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.93 echoes user provided data without escaping and is, therefore, vulnerable to XSS. SSI is disabled by default. The printenv command is intended for debugging and is unlikely to be present in a production website.
