Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.10 - Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Tomcat.

Software Description: - tomcat7: Servlet and JSP engine - tomcat6: Servlet and JSP engine

Details:

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain inconsistent HTTP headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct request smuggling attacks. (CVE-2013-4286)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain requests submitted using chunked transfer encoding. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the Tomcat server to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2013-4322)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly applied the disableURLRewriting setting when handling a session id in a URL. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct session fixation attacks. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-0033)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled malformed Content-Type headers and multipart requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the Tomcat server to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 13.10. (CVE-2014-0050)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 13.10:
libtomcat7-java 7.0.42-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
libtomcat7-java 7.0.30-0ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libtomcat6-java 6.0.35-1ubuntu3.4

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libtomcat6-java 6.0.24-2ubuntu1.15

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Title: RHSA-2014:0429: tomcat6 security update (Moderate)
Description: Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technologies. It was found that when Tomcat processed a series of HTTP requests in which at least one request contained either multiple content-length headers, or one content-length header with a chunked transfer-encoding header, Tomcat would incorrectly handle the request. A remote attacker could use this flaw to poison a web cache, perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, or obtain sensitive information from other requests. (CVE-2013-4286) It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2012-3544 did not properly resolve a denial of service flaw in the way Tomcat processed chunk extensions and trailing headers in chunked requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send an excessively long request that, when processed by Tomcat, could consume network bandwidth, CPU, and memory on the Tomcat server. Note that chunked transfer encoding is enabled by default. (CVE-2013-4322) A denial of service flaw was found in the way Apache Commons FileUpload handled small-sized buffers used by MultipartStream. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create a malformed Content-Type header for a multipart request, causing JBoss Web to enter an infinite loop when processing such an incoming request. (CVE-2014-0050) All Tomcat users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. Tomcat must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Title: HP-UX Apache Server Suite running Apache Tomcat or PHP, Remote Denial of Service (DoS) and Other Vulnerabilities
Description: Apache Tomcat before 6.0.39, 7.x before 7.0.47, and 8.x before 8.0.0-RC3, when an HTTP connector or AJP connector is used, does not properly handle certain inconsistent HTTP request headers, which allows remote attackers to trigger incorrect identification of a request's length and conduct request-smuggling attacks via (1) multiple Content-Length headers or (2) a Content-Length header and a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2005-2090.
