Bug 386213 – <www-servers/tomcat-{6.0.33,7.0.17}: Multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2010-3718,CVE-2011-{1184,2481,2526,2729,5062,5063,5064})

• Product: Gentoo Security
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot 2011-10-08 01:02:35 UTC]

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.

[Comment 1 Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) 2011-10-22 17:52:24 UTC]

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].

[Comment 2 Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) 2011-10-22 17:55:58 UTC]

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).

[Comment 3 Miroslav Šulc 2011-10-22 18:30:11 UTC]

i think it should go stable so filed stabilization request

[Comment 4 Miroslav Šulc 2011-12-24 20:31:56 UTC]

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.

[Comment 6 GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot 2012-02-25 04:30:44 UTC]

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.

[Comment 8 Tim Sammut (RETIRED) 2012-03-13 21:58:18 UTC]

Thanks, folks. GLSA Vote: yes.

[Comment 9 Sean Amoss (RETIRED) 2012-03-23 13:28:43 UTC]

On existing GLSA request.

[Comment 10 Miroslav Šulc 2012-03-25 20:26:10 UTC]

no affected version in the tree anymore
