Apache Tomcat DoS and unauthorized access vulnerabilities
Vulnerability Details |
|---|
This bulletin relates to vulnerabilities in the Apache Tomcat
component which is used to provide the product’s management
GUI. The CLI interface is unaffected.
CVEID: CVE-2013-4286
DESCRIPTION: Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to HTTP
request smuggling, caused by an incomplete fix related to the
handling of malicious request. By sending a specially-crafted
request in a Transfer-Encoding: chunked header and a Content-length
header to the Apache HTTP server that will be reassembled with the
original Content-Length header value, an attacker could exploit
this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application
firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/91426
for more information
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2013-4322
DESCRIPTION: Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to a
denial of service, caused by an incomplete fix related to the
processing of chunked transfer coding without properly handling a
large total amount of chunked data or whitespace characters in an
HTTP header value. A remote attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/91625
for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2014-0075
DESCRPTION: Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to a
denial of service, caused by the improper handling of a malformed
chunk size as part of a chucked request. A remote attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93365
for more information
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2014-0099
DESCRIPTION: Apache Tomcat could allow a remote
attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to
check for overflows when parsing content length headers. By sending
specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this
vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93369
for more information
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
