______________________________________________________________________________

 

An update that solves four vulnerabilities and has one

errata is now available.

 

Description:

 

 

This update for tomcat6 fixes the following issues:

 

The version was updated from 6.0.41 to 6.0.45.

 

Security issues fixed:

 

* CVE-2015-5174: Directory traversal vulnerability in RequestUtil.java in

Apache Tomcat allowed remote authenticated users to bypass intended

SecurityManager restrictions and list a parent directory via a /..

(slash dot dot) in a pathname used by a web application in a

getResource, getResourceAsStream, or getResourcePaths call, as

demonstrated by the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps directory. (bsc#967967)

* CVE-2015-5345: The Mapper component in Apache Tomcat processes redirects

before considering security constraints and Filters, which allowed

remote attackers to determine the existence of a directory via a URL

that lacks a trailing / (slash) character. (bsc#967965)

* CVE-2016-0706: Apache Tomcat did not place

org.apache.catalina.manager.StatusManagerServlet on the

org/apache/catalina/core/RestrictedServlets.properties list, which

allowed remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager

restrictions and read arbitrary HTTP requests, and consequently

discover session ID values, via a crafted web application. (bsc#967815)

* CVE-2016-0714: The session-persistence implementation in Apache Tomcat

mishandled session attributes, which allowed remote authenticated users

to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and execute arbitrary

code in a privileged context via a web application that places a crafted

object in a session. (bsc#967964)
