Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 < 7.0.32

medium Nessus Plugin ID 63200

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.32. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_7.0.32_security-7 advisory.

- org/apache/catalina/filters/CsrfPreventionFilter.java in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.36 and 7.x before 7.0.32 allows remote attackers to bypass the cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection mechanism via a request that lacks a session identifier. (CVE-2012-4431)

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 7.0.32 or later.
