Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 < 7.0.53 multiple vulnerabilities

Synopsis
The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by multiple vulnerabilitiesDescription
The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.53. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_7.0.53_security-7 advisory.- Integer overflow in the parseChunkHeader function in java/org/apache/coyote/http11/filters/ChunkedInputFilter.java in Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.53, and 8.x before 8.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a malformed chunk size in chunked transfer coding of a request during the streaming of data.
(CVE-2014-0075)
- java/org/apache/catalina/servlets/DefaultServlet.java in the default servlet in Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.53, and 8.x before 8.0.4 does not properly restrict XSLT stylesheets, which allows remote attackers to bypass security-manager restrictions and read arbitrary files via a crafted web application that provides an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue. (CVE-2014-0096)
- Integer overflow in java/org/apache/tomcat/util/buf/Ascii.java in Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.53, and 8.x before 8.0.4, when operated behind a reverse proxy, allows remote attackers to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks via a crafted Content-Length HTTP header. (CVE-2014-0099)
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 7.0.53 or later.See Also
