Apache Tomcat 7.0.12 < 7.0.14 multiple vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 54301

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.14. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_7.0.14_security-7 advisory.

- Apache Tomcat 7.0.12 and 7.0.13 processes the first request to a servlet without following security constraints that have been configured through annotations, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via HTTP requests. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-1088, CVE-2011-1183, and CVE-2011-1419. (CVE-2011-1582)

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 7.0.14 or later.
