[GLSA-200408-15] Tomcat: Insecure installation |
||
Tomcat: Insecure installation Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200408-15 (Tomcat: Insecure installation) The Gentoo ebuild for Tomcat sets the ownership of the Tomcat init scripts as tomcat:tomcat, but those scripts are executed with root rights when the system is started. This may permit a member of the tomcat group to run arbitrary code with root rights when the Tomcat init scripts are run. Impact This could lead to a local privilege escalation or root compromise by authenticated users. Workaround Users may change the ownership of /etc/init.d/tomcat* and /etc/conf.d/tomcat* to be root:root: # chown -R root:root /etc/init.d/tomcat* # chown -R root:root /etc/conf.d/tomcat* Solution: All Tomcat users can upgrade to the latest stable version, or simply apply the workaround: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=www-servers/tomcat-5.0.27-r3" # emerge ">=www-servers/tomcat-5.0.27-r3" Network Security Threat Level: Medium Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
