Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 < 8.5.32 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 < 8.5.32 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 8.5.x prior to 8.5.32. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in WebSocket client because host name verification is missing

 - A flaw exists in NIO/NIO2 connectors due to a mishandling of close that can lead to reuse of user sessions

 - A flaw exists in CORS filter due to insecure defaults

Note that the scanner 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 8.5.32 or later.
