Description
This security bulletin contains information about 16 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-50379)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to missing access restrictions to the default servlet. If the default servlet is write enabled (readonly initialisation parameter set to the non-default value of false) for a case insensitive file system, concurrent read and upload under load of the same file can bypass Tomcat's case sensitivity checks and cause an uploaded file to be treated as a JSP leading to remote code execution.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52317)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 responses, which causes request and/or response mix-up between users. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a series of HTTP/2 requests and gain access to sensitive information.
4) 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.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24549)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP/2 requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41080)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data, if the ROOT (default) web application is configured to use FORM authentication. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.
7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42795)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when recycling various internal objects. A remote attacker can force Tomcat to skip some parts of the recycling process leading to information leaking from the current request/response to the next.
8) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34750)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when handling HTTP/2 stream. A remote attacker can initiate multiple HTTP/2 connections to the server that are remain open and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Permissions, privileges, and access controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56337)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The mitigation bypass depends on the version of Java used on the system.
10) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24998)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Commons FileUpload does not limit the number of request parts. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Sensitive cookie in HTTPS session without Secure attribute (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28708)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Tomcat does not set the "Secure" attribute for the JSESSIONID session cookie when using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP that include the X-Forwarded-Proto header set to https. A remote attacker can force the application to transmit cookie via an insecure channel and intercept it.
12) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24813)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling file uploads via HTTP PUT requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP PUT request to the server and gain access to sensitive information or even execute arbitrary code.
If all of the following were true, a malicious user was able to view security sensitive files and/or inject content into those files:
- writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default)
- support for partial PUT (enabled by default)
- a target URL for security sensitive uploads that is a sub-directory of a target URL for public uploads
- attacker knowledge of the names of security sensitive files being uploaded
- the security sensitive files also being uploaded via partial PUT
If all of the following were true, a malicious user was able to perform remote code execution:
- writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default)
- support for partial PUT (enabled by default)
- application was using Tomcat's file based session persistence with the default storage location
- application included a library that may be leveraged in a deserialization attack
13) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45648)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation when parsing HTTP trailer headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
14) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-31651)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass rewrite rules.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted input to the application and bypass configured rewrite rules.
15) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38286)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources during the TLS handshake process. A remote attacker can initiate multiple TLS connections, trigger memory exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
16) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46589)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when parsing malformed trailer headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
