Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 9.0.0-M1 < 9.0.98 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.97, 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.33 or 11.0.0-M1 to 11.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - The previous mitigation for CVE-2024-50379 was incomplete. In addition to upgrading to 11.0.2 or later, users running Tomcat on a case insensitive file system with the default servlet write enabled may need additional configuration depending on the version of Java being used. (CVE-2024-56337)

 - Numerous examples in the examples web application did not place limits on uploaded data enabling an OutOfMemoryError to be triggered causing a denial of service. (CVE-2024-54677)

 - If the default servlet is write enabled (readonly initialisation parameter set to the non-default value of false) for a case insensitive file system, concurrent read and upload under load of the same file can bypass Tomcat's case sensitivity checks and cause an uploaded file to be treated as a JSP leading to remote code execution. (CVE-2024-50379)

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 9.0.98 or later.
