Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 8.5.38 < 8.5.79 EncryptInterceptor DoS

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 8.5.38 to 8.5.78, 9.0.13 to 9.0.62, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.20 or 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M14. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability. The documentation for the EncryptInterceptor incorrectly stated it enabled Tomcat clustering to run over an untrusted network. This was not correct. While the EncryptInterceptor does provide confidentiality and integrity protection, it does not protect against all risks associated with running over any untrusted network, particularly DoS risks.

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 8.5.79 or later.
