Apache Tomcat 9.0.x < 9.0.10 Security Misconfiguration

high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700707

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 9.0.x prior to 9.0.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A security misconfiguration vulnerability exists in Apache Tomcat prior to version 9.0.9 due to insecure default settings for the CORS filter (CVE-2018-8014).

- A security misconfiguration vulnerability exists in Apache Tomcat prior to version 9.0.10. Hostname validation was not enabled by default when using TLS with the WebSocket client (CVE-2018-8034).

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Apache Tomcat prior to version 9.0.10 due to a race condition. If an async request was completed by the application at the same time as the container triggered the async timeout, this could lead to a user being sent the response of another user. (CVE-2018-8037).

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 9.0.9 or later.
