critical Nessus Plugin ID 212591

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:4106-1 advisory.

- Update to Tomcat 9.0.97
* Fixed CVEs:
+ CVE-2024-52316: If the Jakarta Authentication fails with an exception, set a 500 status (bsc#1233434)
* Catalina + Add: Add support for the new Servlet API method HttpServletResponse.sendEarlyHints(). (markt) + Add: 55470: Add debug logging that reports the class path when a ClassNotFoundException occurs in the digester or the web application class loader. Based on a patch by Ralf Hauser. (markt) + Update: 69374: Properly separate between table header and body in DefaultServlet's listing. (michaelo) + Update: 69373: Make DefaultServlet's HTML listing file last modified rendering better (flexible). (michaelo) + Update: Improve HTML output of DefaultServlet. (michaelo) + Code: Refactor RateLimitFilter to use FilterBase as the base class. The primary advantage for doing this is less code to process init-param values. (markt) + Update: 69370: DefaultServlet's HTML listing uses incorrect labels.
(michaelo) + Fix: Avoid NPE in CrawlerSessionManagerValve for partially mapped requests. (remm) + Fix: Add missing WebDAV Lock-Token header in the response when locking a folder. (remm) + Fix: Invalid WebDAV lock requests should be rejected with 400. (remm) + Fix: Fix regression in WebDAV when attempting to unlock a collection.
(remm) + Fix: Verify that destination is not locked for a WebDAV copy operation.
(remm) + Fix: Send 415 response to WebDAV MKCOL operations that include a request body since this is optional and unsupported. (remm) + Fix: Enforce DAV: namespace on WebDAV XML elements. (remm) + Fix: Do not allow a new WebDAV lock on a child resource if a parent collection is locked (RFC 4918 section 6.1). (remm) + Fix: WebDAV Delete should remove any existing lock on successfully deleted resources. (remm) + Update: Remove WebDAV lock null support in accordance with RFC 4918 section 7.3 and annex D. Instead, a lock on a non-existing resource will create an empty file locked with a regular lock. (remm) + Update: Rewrite implementation of WebDAV shared locks to comply with RFC 4918. (remm) + Update: Implement WebDAV If header using code from the Apache Jackrabbit project. (remm) + Add: Add PropertyStore interface in the WebDAV Servlet, to allow implementation of dead properties storage. The store used can be configured using the 'propertyStore' init parameter of the WebDAV servlet. A simple non-persistent implementation is used if no custom store is configured. (remm) + Update: Implement WebDAV PROPPATCH method using the newly added PropertyStore. (remm) + Fix: Cache not found results when searching for web application class loader resources. This addresses performance problems caused by components such as java.sql.DriverManager which, in some circumstances, will search for the same class repeatedly. In a large web application this can cause performance problems. The size of the cache can be controlled via the new notFoundClassResourceCacheSize on the StandardContext. (markt) + Fix: Stop after INITIALIZED state should be a noop since it is possible for subcomponents to be in FAILED after init. (remm) + Fix: Fix incorrect web resource cache size calculations when there are concurrent PUT and DELETE requests for the same resource. (markt) + Add: Add debug logging for the web resource cache so the current size can be tracked as resources are added and removed. (markt) + Update: Replace legacy WebDAV opaquelocktoken: scheme for lock tokens with urn:uuid: as recommended by RFC 4918, and remove secret init parameter. (remm) + Fix: Concurrent reads and writes (e.g. GET and PUT / DELETE) for the same path caused corruption of the FileResource where some of the fields were set as if the file exists and some as set as if it does not. This resulted in inconsistent metadata. (markt) + Fix: 69415: Ensure that the ExpiresFilter only sets cache headers on GET and HEAD requests. Also skip requests where the application has set Cache-Control: no-store. (markt) + Fix: 69419: Improve the performance of ServletRequest.getAttribute() when there are multiple levels of nested includes. Based on a patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt) + Add: All applications to send an early hints informational response by calling HttpServletResponse.sendError() with a status code of 103.
(schultz) + Fix: Ensure that the Jakarta Authentication CallbackHandler only creates one GenericPrincipal in the Subject. (markt) + Fix: If the Jakarta Authentication process fails with an Exception, explicitly set the HTTP response status to 500 as the ServerAuthContext may not have set it. (markt) + Fix: When persisting the Jakarta Authentication provider configuration, create any necessary parent directories that don't already exist.
(markt) + Fix: Correct the logic used to detect errors when deleting temporary files associated with persisting the Jakarta Authentication provider configuration. (markt) + Fix: When processing Jakarta Authentication callbacks, don't overwrite a Principal obtained from the PasswordValidationCallback with null if the CallerPrincipalCallback does not provide a Principal. (markt) + Fix: Avoid store config backup loss when storing one configuration more than once per second. (remm) + Fix: 69359: WebdavServlet duplicates getRelativePath() method from super class with incorrect Javadoc. (michaelo) + Fix: 69360: Inconsistent DELETE behavior between WebdavServlet and DefaultServlet. (michaelo) + Fix: Make WebdavServlet properly return the Allow header when deletion of a resource is not allowed. (michaelo) + Fix: Add log warning if non wildcard mappings are used with the WebdavServlet. (remm) + Fix: 69361: Ensure that the order of entries in a multi-status response to a WebDAV is consistent with the order in which resources were processed. (markt) + Fix: 69362: Provide a better multi-status response when deleting a collection via WebDAV fails. Empty directories that cannot be deleted will now be included in the response. (markt) + Fix: 69363: Use getPathPrefix() consistently in the WebDAV servlet to ensure that the correct path is used when the WebDAV servlet is mounted at a sub-path within the web application. (markt) + Fix: Improve performance of ApplicationHttpRequest.parseParameters().
Based on sample code and test cases provided by John Engebretson.
(markt) + Add: Add support for RFC 8297 (Early Hints). Applications can use this feature by casting the HttpServletResponse to org.apache.catalina.connector.Reponse and then calling the method void sendEarlyHints(). This method will be added to the Servlet API (removing the need for the cast) in Servlet 6.2 onwards. (markt) + Fix: 69214: Do not reject a CORS request that uses POST but does not include a content-type header. Tomcat now correctly processes this as a simple CORS request. Based on a patch suggested by thebluemountain.
(markt) + Fix: Refactor SpnegoAuthenticator so it uses Subject.callAs() rather than Subject.doAs() when available. (markt)
* Coyote + Fix: Return null SSL session id on zero length byte array returned from the SSL implementation. (remm) + Fix: Skip OpenSSLConf with BoringSSL since it is unsupported. (remm) + Fix: Create the HttpParser in Http11Processor if it is not present on the AbstractHttp11Protocol to provide better lifecycle robustness for regular HTTP/1.1. The new behavior was introduced on a previous refactoring to improve HTTP/2 performance. (remm) + Fix: OpenSSLContext will now throw a KeyManagementException if something is known to have gone wrong in the init method, which is the behavior documented by javax.net.ssl.SSLContext.init. This makes error handling more consistent. (remm) + Fix: 69316: Ensure that FastHttpDateFormat#getCurrentDate() (used to generate Date headers for HTTP responses) generates the correct string for the given input. Prior to this change, the output may have been wrong by one second in some cases. Pull request #751 provided by Chenjp.
(markt) + Add: Add server and serverRemoveAppProvidedValues to the list of attributes the HTTP/2 protocol will inherit from the HTTP/1.1 connector it is nested within. (markt) + Fix: Avoid possible crashes when using Apache Tomcat Native, caused by destroying SSLContext objects through GC after APR has been terminated.
(remm) + Fix: Improve HTTP/2 handling of trailer fields for requests. Trailer fields no longer need to be received before the headers of the subsequent stream nor are trailer fields for an in-progress stream swallowed if the Connector is paused before the trailer fields are received. (markt) + Fix: Ensure the request and response are not recycled too soon for an HTTP/2 stream when a stream level error is detected during the processing of incoming HTTP/2 frames. This could lead to incorrect processing times appearing in the access log. (markt) + Fix: Fix 69320, a regression in the fix for 69302 that meant the HTTP/2 processing was likely to be broken for all clients once any client sent an HTTP/2 reset frame. (markt) + Fix: Correct a regression in the fix for non-blocking reads of chunked request bodies that caused InputStream.available() to return a non-zero value when there was no data to read. In some circumstances this could cause a blocking read to block waiting for more data rather than return the data it had already received. (markt) + Add: Add a new attribute cookiesWithoutEquals to the Rfc6265CookieProcessor.
The default behaviour is unchanged. (markt) + Fix: Ensure that Tomcat sends a TLS close_notify message after receiving one from the client when using the OpenSSLImplementation. (markt) + Fix: 69301: Fix trailer headers replacing non-trailer headers when writing response headers to the access log. Based on a patch and test case provided by hypnoce. (markt) + Fix: 69302: If an HTTP/2 client resets a stream before the request body is fully written, ensure that any ReadListener is notified via a call to ReadListener.onErrror(). (markt) + Fix: Correct regressions in the refactoring that added recycling of the coyote request and response to the HTTP/2 processing. (markt) + Add: Add OpenSSL integration using the FFM API rather than Tomcat Native.
OpenSSL support may be enabled by adding the org.apache.catalina.core.OpenSSLLifecycleListener listener on the Server element when using Java 22 or later. (remm) + Fix: Ensure that HTTP/2 stream input buffers are only created when there is a request body to be read. (markt) + Code: Refactor creation of HttpParser instances from the Processor level to the Protocol level since the parser configuration depends on the protocol and the parser is, otherwise, stateless. (markt) + Add: Align HTTP/2 with HTTP/1.1 and recycle the container internal request and response processing objects by default. This behaviour can be controlled via the new discardRequestsAndResponses attribute on the HTTP/2 upgrade protocol. (markt)
* Jasper + Fix: Add back tag release method as deprecated in the runtime for compatibility with old generated code. (remm) + Fix: 69399: Fix regression caused by the improvement 69333 which caused the tag release to be called when using tag pooling, and to be skipped when not using it. Patch submitted by Michal Sobkiewicz. (remm) + Fix: 69381: Improve method lookup performance in expression language.
When the required method has no arguments there is no need to consider casting or coercion and the method lookup process can be simplified.
Based on pull request #770 by John Engebretson.
+ Fix: 69382: Improve the performance of the JSP include action by re-using results of relatively expensive method calls in the generated code rather than repeating them. Patch provided by John Engebretson.
(markt) + Fix: 69398: Avoid unnecessary object allocation in PageContextImpl.
Based on a suggestion by John Engebretson. (markt) + Fix: 69406: When using StringInterpreterEnum, do not throw an IllegalArgumentException when an invalid Enum is encountered. Instead, resolve the value at runtime. Patch provided by John Engebretson.
(markt) + Fix: 69429: Optimise EL evaluation of method parameters for methods that do not accept any parameters. Patch provided by John Engebretson.
(markt) + Fix: 69333: Remove unnecessary code from generated JSPs. (markt) + Fix: 69338: Improve the performance of processing expressions that include AND or OR operations with more than two operands and expressions that use not empty. (markt) + Fix: 69348: Reduce memory consumption in ELContext by using lazy initialization for the data structure used to track lambda arguments.
(markt) + Fix: Switch the TldScanner back to logging detailed scan results at debug level rather than trace level. (markt)
* Web applications + Fix: The manager webapp will now be able to access certificates again when OpenSSL is used. (remm) + Fix: Documentation. Align the logging configuration documentation with the current defaults. (markt)
* WebSocket + Fix: If a blocking message write exceeds the timeout, don't attempt the write again before throwing the exception. (markt) + Fix: An EncodeException being thrown during a message write should not automatically cause the connection to close. The application should handle the exception and make the decision whether or not to close the connection. (markt)
* jdbc-pool + Fix: 69255: Correct a regression in the fix for 69206 that meant exceptions executing statements were wrapped in a java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException rather than the application seeing the original SQLException. Fixed by pull request #744 provided by Michael Clarke. (markt) + Fix: 69279: Correct a regression in the fix for 69206 that meant that methods that previously returned a null ResultSet were returning a proxy with a null delegate. Fixed by pull request #745 provided by Huub de Beer.
(markt) + Fix: 69206: Ensure statements returned from Statement methods executeQuery(), getResultSet() and getGeneratedKeys() are correctly wrapped before being returned to the caller. Based on pull request #742 provided by Michael Clarke.
* Other + Update: Switch from DigiCert ONE to ssl.com eSigner for code signing.
(markt) + Update: Update Byte Buddy to 1.15.10. (markt) + Update: Update CheckStyle to 10.20.0. (markt) + Add: Improvements to German translations. (remm) + Add: Improvements to French translations. (remm) + Add: Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt) + Add: Improvements to Chinese translations by Ch_jp. (markt) + Add: Exclude the tomcat-coyote-ffm.jar from JAR scanning by default.
(markt) + Fix: Change the default log handler level to ALL so log messages are not dropped by default if a logger is configured to use trace (FINEST) level logging. (markt) + Update: Update Hamcrest to 3.0. (markt) + Update: Update EasyMock to 5.4.0. (markt) + Update: Update Byte Buddy to 1.15.0. (markt) + Update: Update CheckStyle to 10.18.0. (markt) + Update: Update the internal fork of Apache Commons BCEL to 6.10.0.
(markt) + Add: Improvements to Spanish translations by Fernando. (markt) + Add: Improvements to French translations. (remm) + Add: Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt) + Fix: Fix packaging regression with missing osgi information following addition of the test-only build target. (remm) + Update: Update Tomcat Native to 1.3.1. (markt) + Update: Update Byte Buddy to 1.14.18. (markt) + Add: Improvements to French translations. (remm) + Add: Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)
