Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 < 7.0.2

medium Nessus Plugin ID 121115

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_7.0.2_security-7 advisory.

- Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.29, 6.0.0 through 6.0.27, and 7.0.0 beta does not properly handle an invalid Transfer-Encoding header, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application outage) or obtain sensitive information via a crafted header that interferes with recycling of a buffer.
(CVE-2010-2227)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 7.0.2 or later.
