This Metasploit module enumerates Apache Tomcats usernames via malformed requests to j_security_check, which can be found in the web administration package. It should work against Tomcat servers 4.1.0 - 4.1.39, 5.5.0 - 5.5.27, and 6.0.0 - 6.0.18. Newer versions no longer have the "admin" package by default. The admin package is no longer provided for Tomcat 6 and later versions.

These vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely to create a Denial of Service (DoS) or to perform an access restriction bypass, unauthorized modification, and other vulnerabilities. Revision 1 of this advisory.

5c4dd5ef21c9a6c2c4831755da943d32c7912b393cfbacd027bf90286862032fMandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-176 - Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 through 6.0.14, 5.5.0 through 5.5.25, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.36 does not properly handle characters or sequences in a cookie value, which might cause sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-3385. Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, 6.0.0 through 6.0.18, and possibly earlier versions normalizes the target pathname before filtering the query string when using the RequestDispatcher method, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and conduct directory traversal attacks via. sequences and the WEB-INF directory in a Request. Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.18, when the Java AJP connector and mod_jk load balancing are used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted request with invalid headers, related to temporary blocking of connectors that have encountered errors, as demonstrated by an error involving a malformed HTTP Host header. Other issues have also been addressed.
fc7dd9c0367dbd633972bba44e45df2449d43149c7f42f5e75fdc5df99893222HP Security Bulletin - Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified with HP Performance Manager. The vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely to allow unauthorized access, cross site scripting (XSS), and Denial of Service (DoS).
2c9b1c503df2fefd5092de5894496816bf76e18ffa64a7cafd5f0b0d8a696badHP Security Bulletin - Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified with HP-UX running Tomcat-based Servlet Engine. The vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or unauthorized access. Tomcat-based Servlet Engine is contained in the Apache Web Server Suite.

These range from denial of service to cross site scripting issues. The updated packages have been patched to prevent this. Additionally Apache Tomcat has been upgraded to the latest 5.5.27 version for MES5.

Additionally, Apache Tomcat has been upgraded to the latest 5.5.27 version for 2009.0.
332b74194aca97203eedd7da4595ab4f1fdc87fbade037addae3ce8b81d3370bUbuntu Security Notice USN-788-1 - Iida Minehiko discovered that Tomcat did not properly normalise paths. A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests to the server and bypass security restrictions, gaining access to sensitive content. Yoshihito Fukuyama discovered that Tomcat did not properly handle errors when the Java AJP connector and mod_jk load balancing are used. A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests containing invalid headers to the server and cause a temporary denial of service. D. Matscheko and T. Hackner discovered that Tomcat did not properly handle malformed URL encoding of passwords when FORM authentication is used. A remote attacker could exploit this in order to enumerate valid usernames. Deniz Cevik discovered that Tomcat did not properly escape certain parameters in the example calendar application which could result in browsers becoming vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks when processing the output. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data (such as passwords), within the same domain. Philippe Prados discovered that Tomcat allowed web applications to replace the XML parser used by other web applications. Local users could exploit this to bypass security restrictions and gain access to certain sensitive files.
03c46ab8e039d95b3d68d8fff432ef9ad26a6c0edc896dd0c164b176129017f4Due to insufficient error checking in some authentication classes, Tomcat allows for the enumeration (brute force testing) of usernames by supplying illegally URL encoded passwords. Versions affected include Tomcat 6.0.0 to 6.0.18, Tomcat 5.5.0 to 5.5.27, and Tomcat 4.1.0 to 4.1.39.
