Apache Tomcat 8.0.0-RC1 < 8.0.17

medium Nessus Plugin ID 83765

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 8.0.17. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.0.17_security-8 advisory.

- The Expression Language (EL) implementation in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.44, 7.x before 7.0.58, and 8.x before 8.0.16 does not properly consider the possibility of an accessible interface implemented by an inaccessible class, which allows attackers to bypass a SecurityManager protection mechanism via a web application that leverages use of incorrect privileges during EL evaluation. (CVE-2014-7810)

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 8.0.17 or later.
