Apache Tomcat 7.0.x < 7.0.40 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 6833

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 7.0 listening on the remote host is prior to 7.0.40. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- An error exists related to 'AsyncListeners' that throw 'RuntimeExceptions' that allow elements of certain requests to be disclosed in responses to other requests. (CVE-2013-2071)

- It is possible to upload a malicious JSP to a Tomcat server and subsequently trigger execution of that JSP. (CVE-2013-4444)

Note that Nessus Network Monitor has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 7.0.40 or later.
