EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : tomcat (EulerOS-SA-2019-1992)
high Nessus Plugin ID 129186
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.Description
According to the versions of the tomcat packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :- The URL pattern of '' (the empty string) which exactly maps to the context root was not correctly handled in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.4, 8.5.0 to 8.5.27, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.84 when used as part of a security constraint definition. This caused the constraint to be ignored. It was, therefore, possible for unauthorised users to gain access to web application resources that should have been protected.
Only security constraints with a URL pattern of the empty string were affected.(CVE-2018-1304)
- Security constraints defined by annotations of Servlets in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.4, 8.5.0 to 8.5.27, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.84 were only applied once a Servlet had been loaded. Because security constraints defined in this way apply to the URL pattern and any URLs below that point, it was possible - depending on the order Servlets were loaded
- for some security constraints not to be applied. This could have exposed resources to users who were not authorised to access them.(CVE-2018-1305)
- The host name verification when using TLS with the WebSocket client was missing. It is now enabled by default. Versions Affected: Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.9, 8.5.0 to 8.5.31, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.52, and 7.0.35 to 7.0.88.(CVE-2018-8034)
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
