Synopsis: Important: tomcat5 security update Issue Date: 2013-03-12 CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-5885 CVE-2012-5886 CVE-2012-5887 CVE-2012-3546 -- It was found that when an application used FORM authentication, along with another component that calls request.setUserPrincipal() before the call to FormAuthenticator#authenticate() (such as the Single-Sign-On valve), it was possible to bypass the security constraint checks in the FORM authenticator by appending "/j_security_check" to the end of a URL. A remote attacker with an authenticated session on an affected application could use this flaw to circumvent authorization controls, and thereby access resources not permitted by the roles associated with their authenticated session. (CVE-2012-3546) Multiple weaknesses were found in the Tomcat DIGEST authentication implementation, effectively reducing the security normally provided by DIGEST authentication. A remote attacker could use these flaws to perform replay attacks in some circumstances. (CVE-2012-5885, CVE-2012-5886, CVE-2012-5887) Tomcat must be restarted for this update to take effect. -- SL5 x86_64 tomcat5-debuginfo-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-admin-webapps-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-common-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-jasper-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-jasper-javadoc-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-javadoc-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-server-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-javadoc-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm tomcat5-webapps-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.x86_64.rpm i386 tomcat5-debuginfo-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-admin-webapps-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-common-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-jasper-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-jasper-javadoc-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-javadoc-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-server-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-javadoc-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm tomcat5-webapps-5.5.23-0jpp.38.el5_9.i386.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
