Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-2247-01
Posted Aug 2, 2017
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-2247-01 - Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: tomcat. Security Fix: The Realm implementations did not process the supplied password if the supplied user name did not exist. This made a timing attack possible to determine valid user names. Note that the default configuration includes the LockOutRealm which makes exploitation of this vulnerability harder.

3. Description:

Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer
Pages (JSP) technologies.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
tomcat (7.0.76). (BZ#1414895)

Security Fix(es):

* The Realm implementations did not process the supplied password if the
supplied user name did not exist. This made a timing attack possible to
determine valid user names. Note that the default configuration includes
the LockOutRealm which makes exploitation of this vulnerability harder.
(CVE-2016-0762)

* It was discovered that a malicious web application could bypass a
configured SecurityManager via a Tomcat utility method that was accessible
to web applications. (CVE-2016-5018)

* It was discovered that when a SecurityManager was configured, Tomcat's
system property replacement feature for configuration files could be used
by a malicious web application to bypass the SecurityManager and read
system properties that should not be visible. (CVE-2016-6794)

* It was discovered that a malicious web application could bypass a
configured SecurityManager via manipulation of the configuration parameters
for the JSP Servlet. (CVE-2016-6796)

* It was discovered that it was possible for a web application to access
any global JNDI resource whether an explicit ResourceLink had been
configured or not. (CVE-2016-6797)
