medium Nessus Plugin ID 63160

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The Apache Software Foundation reports :

When using FORM authentication it was possible to bypass the security constraint checks in the FORM authenticator by appending '/j_security_check' to the end of the URL if some other component (such as the Single-Sign-On valve) had called request.setUserPrincipal() before the call to FormAuthenticator#authenticate().

Solution

Update the affected packages.
