Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the calendar application example in Apache Tomcat 4.0.0 through 4.0.6, 4.1.0 through 4.1.31, 5.0.0 through 5.0.30, and 5.5.0 through 5.5.15 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the time parameter to cal2.jsp and possibly unspecified other vectors. NOTE: this may be related to CVE-2006-0254.1.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the calendar application example in Apache Tomcat 4.0.0
    through 4.0.6, 4.1.0 through 4.1.31, 5.0.0 through 5.0.30, and 5.5.0 through 5.5.15 allows remote
    attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the time parameter to cal2.jsp and possibly
    unspecified other vectors. NOTE: this may be related to CVE-2006-0254.1. (CVE-2006-7196)

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 4.x listening on the remote host is prior to 4.1.32. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install is vulnerable to a     denial of service attack. If directory listing is     enabled, function calls to retrieve the contents of     large directories can degrade performance.
    (CVE-2005-3510)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to     a cross-site scripting attack if the JSP examples are     enabled. Several of these JSP examples do not properly     validate user input. (CVE-2005-4838)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install allows remote users     to list the contents of a directory by placing a     semicolon before a filename with a mapped extension.
    (CVE-2006-3835)

  - If enabled, the JSP calendar example application is     vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack because     user input is not properly validated. (CVE-2006-7196)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install, in its default     configuration, permits the use of insecure ciphers when     using SSL. (CVE-2007-1858)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to an     information disclosure attack by allowing requests from     a non-permitted IP address to gain access to a context     that is protected with a valve that extends     RequestFilterValve. (CVE-2008-3271)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
