CentOS 9 : tomcat-9.0.62-14.el9

medium Nessus Plugin ID 191428

Language:

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates for tomcat.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the tomcat-9.0.62-14.el9 build changelog.

 - not including the secure attribute causes information (CVE-2023-28708)

 - The fix for CVE-2023-24998 was incomplete for Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M2 to 11.0.0-M4, 10.1.5 to 10.1.7, 9.0.71 to 9.0.73 and 8.5.85 to 8.5.87. If non-default HTTP connector settings were used such that the maxParameterCount could be reached using query string parameters and a request was submitted that supplied exactly maxParameterCount parameters in the query string, the limit for uploaded request parts could be bypassed with the potential for a denial of service to occur. (CVE-2023-28709)

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

Solution

Update the CentOS 9 Stream tomcat package.
