Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2008-188
Posted Sep 6, 2008
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - A number of vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Apache Tomcat server. The default catalina.policy in the JULI logging component did not restrict certain permissions for web applications which could allow a remote attacker to modify logging configuration options and overwrite arbitrary files. A cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the HttpServletResponse.sendError() method which could allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via forged HTTP headers. A cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the host manager application that could allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the hostname parameter. A traversal vulnerability was found when using a RequestDispatcher in combination with a servlet or JSP that could allow a remote attacker to utilize a specially-crafted request parameter to access protected web resources. A traversal vulnerability was found when the 'allowLinking' and 'URIencoding' settings were actived which could allow a remote attacker to use a UTF-8-encoded request to extend their privileges and obtain local files accessible to the Tomcat process. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Package : tomcat5
Date : September 5, 2008
Affected: 2008.0, 2008.1

Problem Description:

A number of vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Apache
Tomcat server:

The default catalina.policy in the JULI logging component did not
restrict certain permissions for web applications which could allow a
remote attacker to modify logging configuration options and overwrite
arbitrary files (CVE-2007-5342).

A cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the
HttpServletResponse.sendError() method which could allow a remote
attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via forged HTTP headers
(CVE-2008-1232).

A cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the host manager
application that could allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary
web script or HTML via the hostname parameter (CVE-2008-1947).

A traversal vulnerability was found when using a RequestDispatcher in
combination with a servlet or JSP that could allow a remote attacker
to utilize a specially-crafted request parameter to access protected
web resources (CVE-2008-2370).

A traversal vulnerability was found when the 'allowLinking' and
'URIencoding' settings were actived which could allow a remote attacker
to use a UTF-8-encoded request to extend their privileges and obtain
local files accessible to the Tomcat process (CVE-2008-2938).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
