Background ========== Tomcat is the Apache Jakarta Project's official implementation of Java Servlets and Java Server Pages. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-servers/tomcat < 6.0.16 *>= 5.5.26 >= 6.0.16 Description =========== The following vulnerabilities were reported: * Delian Krustev discovered that the JULI logging component does not properly enforce access restrictions, allowing web application to add or overwrite files (CVE-2007-5342). * When the native APR connector is used, Tomcat does not properly handle an empty request to the SSL port, which allows remote attackers to trigger handling of a duplicate copy of one of the recent requests (CVE-2007-6286). * If the processing or parameters is interrupted, i.e. by an exception, then it is possible for the parameters to be processed as part of later request (CVE-2008-0002). * An absolute path traversal vulnerability exists due to the way that WebDAV write requests are handled (CVE-2007-5461). * Tomcat does not properly handle double quote (") characters or %5C (encoded backslash) sequences in a cookie value, which might cause sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked to remote attackers and enable session hijacking attacks (CVE-2007-5333). Impact ====== These vulnerabilities can be exploited by: * a malicious web application to add or overwrite files with the permissions of the user running Tomcat. * a remote attacker to conduct session hijacking or disclose sensitive data. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Tomcat 5.5.x users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/tomcat-5.5.26" All Tomcat 6.0.x users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/tomcat-6.0.16" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-5333 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5333 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-5342 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5342 [ 3 ] CVE-2007-5461 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5461 [ 4 ] CVE-2007-6286 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6286 [ 5 ] CVE-2008-0002 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0002 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200804-10.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
