Synopsis: Moderate: tomcat6 security and bug fix update Advisory ID: SLSA-2015:0991-1 Issue Date: 2015-05-12 CVE Numbers: CVE-2014-0227 -- It was discovered that the ChunkedInputFilter in Tomcat did not fail subsequent attempts to read input after malformed chunked encoding was detected. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make Tomcat process part of the request body as new request, or cause a denial of service. (CVE-2014-0227) This update also fixes the following bug: * Before this update, the tomcat6 init script did not try to kill the tomcat process if an attempt to stop it was unsuccessful, which would prevent tomcat from restarting properly. The init script was modified to correct this issue. Tomcat must be restarted for this update to take effect. -- SL6 x86_64 tomcat6-admin-webapps-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm tomcat6-javadoc-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm tomcat6-jsp-2.1-api-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm tomcat6-el-2.1-api-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm tomcat6-docs-webapp-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm tomcat6-servlet-2.5-api-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm tomcat6-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm tomcat6-webapps-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm tomcat6-lib-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm tomcat6-debuginfo-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm i386 tomcat6-servlet-2.5-api-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm tomcat6-jsp-2.1-api-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm tomcat6-javadoc-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm tomcat6-docs-webapp-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm tomcat6-admin-webapps-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm tomcat6-el-2.1-api-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm tomcat6-lib-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm tomcat6-webapps-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm tomcat6-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm tomcat6-debuginfo-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm srpm tomcat6-6.0.24-83.el6_6.src.rpm noarch tomcat6-debuginfo-6.0.24-83.el6_6.x86_64.rpm tomcat6-debuginfo-6.0.24-83.el6_6.i686.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
