Tomcat versions 7.0.0 through 7.0.32 and 6.0.21 through 6.0.36 are affected by a session fixation vulnerability. FORM authentication associates the most recent request requiring authentication with the current session. By repeatedly sending a request for an authenticated resource while the victim is completing the login form, an attacker could inject a request that would be executed using the victim's credentials. This attack has been prevented by changing the session ID prior to displaying the login page as well as after the user has successfully authenticated.

This fixes multiple weaknesses, security issues, and vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive information, bypass certain security restrictions, and cause a DoS (Denial of Service), by malicious users to disclose sensitive information and manipulate certain data, and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, bypass certain security restrictions, disclose sensitive information, manipulate certain data, and cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

2554deef0443d375e952662e346879fa72a6339fcb77237d7e198b3b4d27ff87Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-100 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of HP OpenView Performance Manager. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the PMParamHandler component of Performance Manager, which is served via an Apache Tomcat instance that listens on TCP port 8081. The process receives a filename from a remote user and performs insufficient validation of the provided file path. Additionally, the user can specify an arbitrary extension due to premature truncation resulting from an embedded null byte. Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed message packets to the target, which could lead to a directory traversing arbitrary file write and ultimately remote code execution under the context of the SYSTEM user.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

It was found that the Java hashCode() method implementation was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause Tomcat to use an excessive amount of CPU time by sending an HTTP request with a large number of parameters whose names map to the same hash value. This update introduces a limit on the number of parameters processed per request to mitigate this issue. The default limit is 512 for parameters and 128 for headers. These defaults can be changed by setting the org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters.MAX_COUNT and org.apache.tomcat.util.http.MimeHeaders.MAX_COUNT system properties.

dbddb067eea6285ae03840af13f5b96e3c76ac98669cc499d09536c755bea07dThis Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in the XSL parser of the XSL Content Portlet. When Tomcat is present, arbitrary code can be executed via java calls in the data fed to the Xalan XSLT processor. If XSLPAGE is defined, the user must have rights to change the content of that page (to add a new XSL portlet), otherwise it can be left blank and a new one will be created. The second method however, requires administrative privileges.
