CVE-2011-2729 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-2729): native/unix/native/jsvc-unix.c in jsvc in the Daemon component 1.0.3 through 1.0.6 in Apache Commons, as used in Apache Tomcat 5.5.32 through 5.5.33, 6.0.30 through 6.0.32, and 7.0.x before 7.0.20 on Linux, does not drop capabilities, which allows remote attackers to bypass read permissions for files via a request to an application. CVE-2011-2526 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-2526): Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.19, when sendfile is enabled for the HTTP APR or HTTP NIO connector, does not validate certain request attributes, which allows local users to bypass intended file access restrictions or cause a denial of service (infinite loop or JVM crash) by leveraging an untrusted web application. CVE-2011-2481 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-2481): Apache Tomcat 7.0.x before 7.0.17 permits web applications to replace an XML parser used for other web applications, which allows local users to read or modify the (1) web.xml, (2) context.xml, or (3) tld files of arbitrary web applications via a crafted application that is loaded earlier than the target application. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2009-0783 regression. CVE-2010-3718 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-3718): Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 through 7.0.3, 6.0.x, and 5.5.x, when running within a SecurityManager, does not make the ServletContext attribute read-only, which allows local web applications to read or write files outside of the intended working directory, as demonstrated using a directory traversal attack.
The first two are fixed in 6.0.33, the third is only for ~arch and already fixed, the last one has already been fixed in 6.0.30. => Moving to [glsa].
Whoops, 6.0.33 isn't stable yet. Java team, what are your plans here? If it's not too much work, we could stabilize 6.0.33 now. However, according to http://tomcat.apache.org/security-6.html there's already plans for a 6.0.34 release which fixes yet another bug (bug #382043).
i think it should go stable so filed stabilization request
tomcat 5.5.x has been removed from the main tree because it's heading its eol in 2012-09-30 and it's unmaintained on our side (all the effort goes to 6.x and 7.x releases). tomcat 5.5.x has been moved to java-overlay for those that still need it.
CVE-2011-1184 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-1184): The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not have the expected countermeasures against replay attacks, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by sniffing the network for valid requests, related to lack of checking of nonce (aka server nonce) and nc (aka nonce-count or client nonce count) values.
CVE-2011-5064 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-5064): DigestAuthenticator.java in the HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12 uses Catalina as the hard-coded server secret (aka private key), which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging knowledge of this string, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184. CVE-2011-5063 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-5063): The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not check realm values, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging the availability of a protection space with weaker authentication or authorization requirements, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184. CVE-2011-5062 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-5062): The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not check qop values, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended integrity-protection requirements via a qop=auth value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184.
Regarding the addition of CVE-2011-5062, CVE-2011-5063 and CVE-2011-5064 from the apache site at https://tomcat.apache.org/security-6.html#Fixed_in_Apache_Tomcat_6.0.33. Moderate: Multiple weaknesses in HTTP DIGEST authentication CVE-2011-1184 Note: Mitre elected to break this issue down into multiple issues and have allocated the following additional references to parts of this issue: CVE-2011-5062, CVE-2011-5063 and CVE-2011-5064. The Apache Tomcat security team will continue to treat this as a single issue using the reference CVE-2011-1184.
Thanks, folks. GLSA Vote: yes.
On existing GLSA request.
