CVE-2011-5062  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade tomcat to version 5.5.34, 6.0.33, 7.0.12 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not check qop values, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended integrity-protection requirements via a qop=auth value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184.
