Apache Tomcat 10.1.27 < 10.1.31 multiple vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 211504

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 10.1.31. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_10.1.31_security-10 advisory.

- Incorrect object re-cycling and re-use vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. Incorrect recycling of the request and response used by HTTP/2 requests could lead to request and/or response mix-up between users. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M23 through 11.0.0-M26, from 10.1.27 through 10.1.30, from 9.0.92 through 9.0.95. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0, 10.1.31 or 9.0.96, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2024-52317)

- Unchecked Error Condition vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. If Tomcat is configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication (formerly JASPIC) ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to indicate failure, the authentication may not fail, allowing the user to bypass the authentication process. There are no known Jakarta Authentication components that behave in this way. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M26, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.30, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.95. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0, 10.1.31 or 9.0.96, which fix the issue. (CVE-2024-52316)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 10.1.31 or later.
