Problem description
A number of vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Apache
Tomcat server:
The default catalina.policy in the JULI logging component did not
restrict certain permissions for web applications which could allow a
remote attacker to modify logging configuration options and overwrite
arbitrary files (CVE-2007-5342).
A cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the
HttpServletResponse.sendError() method which could allow a remote
attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via forged HTTP headers
(CVE-2008-1232).
A cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the host manager
application that could allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary
web script or HTML via the hostname parameter (CVE-2008-1947).
A traversal vulnerability was found when using a RequestDispatcher in
combination with a servlet or JSP that could allow a remote attacker
to utilize a specially-crafted request parameter to access protected
web resources (CVE-2008-2370).
A traversal vulnerability was found when the 'allowLinking' and
'URIencoding' settings were actived which could allow a remote attacker
to use a UTF-8-encoded request to extend their privileges and obtain
local files accessible to the Tomcat process (CVE-2008-2938).
The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
