Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: tomcat6 security and bug fix update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:0492-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-0492.html

Issue date: 2016-03-22

CVE Names: CVE-2014-7810

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated tomcat6 packages that fix one security issue and one bug are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security

impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the

References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

 

Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer

Pages (JSP) technologies.

 

It was found that the expression language resolver evaluated expressions

within a privileged code section. A malicious web application could use

this flaw to bypass security manager protections. (CVE-2014-7810)

 

This update also fixes the following bug:

 

* Previously, using a New I/O (NIO) connector in the Apache Tomcat 6

servlet resulted in a large memory leak. An upstream patch has been applied

to fix this bug, and the memory leak no longer occurs. (BZ#1301646)

 

All Tomcat 6 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain backported patches to correct these issues. Tomcat must be

restarted for this update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

1222573 - CVE-2014-7810 Tomcat/JbossWeb: security manager bypass via EL expressions
