Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52316)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing authentication requests. If Tomcat was configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication (formerly JASPIC) ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to indicate failure, the authentication may not have failed, allowing the user to bypass the authentication process.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
