Debian DLA-753-1 : tomcat7 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 96014

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Paul Szabo discovered a potential privilege escalation that could be exploited in the situation envisaged in DLA-622-1. This update also addresses several regressions stemming from incomplete fixes for CVE-2015-5345, CVE-2016-5018 and CVE-2016-6797.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 7.0.28-4+deb7u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat7 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
