Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.40, in certain situations involving outdated java.io.File code and a custom JMX configuration, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading and accessing a JSP file.

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

  - Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.40, in certain situations involving
    outdated java.io.File code and a custom JMX configuration, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
    code by uploading and accessing a JSP file. (CVE-2013-4444)

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 7.0 listening on the remote host is prior to 7.0.40. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - An error exists related to 'AsyncListeners' that throw 'RuntimeExceptions' that allow elements of certain requests to be disclosed in responses to other requests. (CVE-2013-2071)

 - It is possible to upload a malicious JSP to a Tomcat server and subsequently trigger execution of that JSP. (CVE-2013-4444)

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

The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.40. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_7.0.40_security-7 advisory.

  - java/org/apache/catalina/core/AsyncContextImpl.java in Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.40 does not properly     handle the throwing of a RuntimeException in an AsyncListener in an application, which allows context-     dependent attackers to obtain sensitive request information intended for other applications in     opportunistic circumstances via an application that records the requests that it processes.
