Detail
Problem Description: Updated tomcat5 packages that fix three security issues are now available for Red Hat Application Server v2. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Application Server v2 4AS - noarch Red Hat Application Server v2 4ES - noarch Red Hat Application Server v2 4WS - noarch 3. Description: Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technologies. A flaw was found in the way Tomcat handled the Transfer-Encoding header in HTTP requests. A specially-crafted HTTP request could prevent Tomcat from sending replies, or cause Tomcat to return truncated replies, or replies containing data related to the requests of other users, for all subsequent HTTP requests. (CVE-2010-2227) Two directory traversal flaws were found in the Tomcat deployment process. A specially-crafted WAR file could, when deployed, cause a file to be created outside of the web root into any directory writable by the Tomcat user, or could lead to the deletion of files in the Tomcat host's work directory. (CVE-2009-2693, CVE-2009-2902) Users of Tomcat should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve 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. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 559738 - CVE-2009-2693 tomcat: unexpected file deletion and/or alteration 559761 - CVE-2009-2902 tomcat: unexpected file deletion in work directory 612799 - CVE-2010-2227 tomcat: information leak vulnerability in the handling of 'Transfer-Encoding' header |

62054 | Apache Tomcat WAR Filename Traversal Work-directory File Deletion Apache Tomcat contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path of the host's work directory. The issue is due to Apache Tomcat not properly sanitizing the contents of a WAR file before it is deployed, which could be exploited by a directory traversal sequence in the file name(s) to delete and possibly create malicious files in the host's work directory. |
62052 | Apache Tomcat WAR File Traversal Arbitrary File Overwrite Apache Tomcat contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the program not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied via file names of files contained in a WAR file. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to create or overwrite arbitrary files. |
