The remote web server includes an example JSP application that fails to sanitize user-supplied input before using it to generate dynamic content in the 'examples/SendMailServlet' servlet. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.4 that does not have the security update 2008-004 applied. 

This update contains security fixes for a number of programs.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.5.x that is prior to 10.5.4. 

Mac OS X 10.5.4 contains security fixes for multiple components.

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 4.x listening on the remote host is prior to 4.1.37. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to an     information disclosure attack if the deprecated AJP     connector processes a client request having a non-zero     Content-Length and the client disconnects before     sending the request body. (CVE-2005-3164)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to     a cross-site scripting attack if the JSP and Servlet     examples are enabled. Several of these examples do     not properly validate user input.
    (CVE-2007-1355, CVE-2007-2449)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to     a cross-site scripting attack if the Manager web     application is enabled as it fails to escape input     data. (CVE-2007-2450)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to an     information disclosure attack via cookies. Apache Tomcat     treats the single quote character in a cookie as a     delimiter which can lead to information, such as session     ID, to be disclosed. (CVE-2007-3382)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to     a cross-site scripting attack if the SendMailServlet is     enabled. The SendMailServlet is a part of the examples     web application and, when reporting error messages,     fails to escape user provided data. (CVE-2007-3383)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to an     information disclosure attack via cookies. The previous     fix for CVE-2007-3385 was incomplete and did not account     for the use of quotes or '%5C' in cookie values.
    (CVE-2007-3385, CVE-2007-5333)

  - The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to an     information disclosure attack via the WebDAV servlet.
    Certain WebDAV requests, containing an entity with a     SYSTEM tag, can result in the disclosure of arbitrary     file contents. (CVE-2007-5461)

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

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.5 that is older than version 10.5.4.  Mac OS X 10.5.4 contains security fixes for a number of programs.
