+ <title>Tomcat: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities in Tomcat may lead to local file overwriting,
+ session hijacking or information disclosure.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Tomcat is the Apache Jakarta Project's official implementation of Java
+ Servlets and Java Server Pages.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The following vulnerabilities were reported:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Delian Krustev discovered that the JULI logging component does not
+ properly enforce access restrictions, allowing web application to add
+ or overwrite files (CVE-2007-5342).</li>
+ <li>
+ When the native APR connector is used, Tomcat does not properly handle
+ an empty request to the SSL port, which allows remote attackers to
+ trigger handling of a duplicate copy of one of the recent requests
+ (CVE-2007-6286).</li>
+ <li>
+ If the processing or parameters is interrupted, i.e. by an exception,
+ then it is possible for the parameters to be processed as part of later
+ request (CVE-2008-0002).</li>
+ <li>
+ An absolute path traversal vulnerability exists due to the way that
+ WebDAV write requests are handled (CVE-2007-5461).</li>
+ <li>
+ Tomcat does not properly handle double quote (") characters or %5C
+ (encoded backslash) sequences in a cookie value, which might cause
+ sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked to remote
+ attackers and enable session hijacking attacks
+ (CVE-2007-5333).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ These vulnerabilities can be exploited by:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ a malicious web application to add or overwrite files with the
+ permissions of the user running Tomcat.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ a remote attacker to conduct session hijacking or disclose sensitive
+ data.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Tomcat 5.5.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-servers/tomcat-5.5.26&quot;</code>
+ <p>
+ All Tomcat 6.0.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-servers/tomcat-6.0.16&quot;</code>
