Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the appdev/sample/web/hello.jsp example application in Tomcat 4.0.0 through 4.0.6, 4.1.0 through 4.1.36, 5.0.0 through 5.0.30, 5.5.0 through 5.5.23, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.10 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the test parameter and unspecified vectors.

According to its self-reported version number, the Apache Tomcat instance listening on the remote host is prior to 6.0.13. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Requests containing multiple 'content-length' headers     are not rejected as invalid. This error can allow     web-cache poisoning, cross-site scripting attacks and     information disclosure. (CVE-2005-2090)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to     a cross-site scripting attack if the JSP and Servlet     examples are enabled. Several of these examples do     not properly validate user input. (CVE-2007-1355)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 4.x listening on the remote host is prior to 4.1.37. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to an     information disclosure attack if the deprecated AJP     connector processes a client request having a non-zero     Content-Length and the client disconnects before     sending the request body. (CVE-2005-3164)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to     a cross-site scripting attack if the JSP and Servlet     examples are enabled. Several of these examples do     not properly validate user input.
    (CVE-2007-1355, CVE-2007-2449)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to     a cross-site scripting attack if the Manager web     application is enabled as it fails to escape input     data. (CVE-2007-2450)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to an     information disclosure attack via cookies. Apache Tomcat     treats the single quote character in a cookie as a     delimiter which can lead to information, such as session     ID, to be disclosed. (CVE-2007-3382)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to     a cross-site scripting attack if the SendMailServlet is     enabled. The SendMailServlet is a part of the examples     web application and, when reporting error messages,     fails to escape user provided data. (CVE-2007-3383)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to an     information disclosure attack via cookies. The previous     fix for CVE-2007-3385 was incomplete and did not account     for the use of quotes or '%5C' in cookie values.
    (CVE-2007-3385, CVE-2007-5333)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to an     information disclosure attack via the WebDAV servlet.
    Certain WebDAV requests, containing an entity with a     SYSTEM tag, can result in the disclosure of arbitrary     file contents. (CVE-2007-5461)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number..

Red Hat Network Satellite Server version 5.1.1 is now available. This update includes fixes for a number of security issues in Red Hat Network Satellite Server components.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

During an internal security audit, it was discovered that Red Hat Network Satellite Server shipped with an XML-RPC script, manzier.pxt, which had a single hard-coded authentication key. A remote attacker who is able to connect to the Satellite Server XML-RPC service could use this flaw to obtain limited information about Satellite Server users, such as login names, associated email addresses, internal user IDs, and partial information about entitlements. (CVE-2008-2369)

The Apache Project reports :

The JSP and Servlet included in the sample application within the Tomcat documentation webapp did not escape user provided data before including it in the output. This enabled a XSS attack. These pages have been simplified not to use any user provided data in the output.

The remote web server includes an example JSP application that fails to sanitize user-supplied input before using it to generate dynamic content in an error page. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.5 that is older than version 10.5.4.  Mac OS X 10.5.4 contains security fixes for a number of programs.
