Apache Tomcat 7.0.x < 7.0.33 Session Fixation

high Nessus Plugin ID 66427

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by a security bypass vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 7.0 listening on the remote host is prior to 7.0.33. It is, therefore, affected by an error related to HTML form authentication and session fixation that allows an attacker to carry out requests using a victim's credentials.

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

Solution

Update to Apache Tomcat version 7.0.33 or later.
