Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: tomcat security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2007:0569-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0569.html
Issue date: 2007-07-17
Updated on: 2007-07-17
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2007-2449 CVE-2007-2450
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
Updated tomcat packages that fix two security issues and a packaging bug
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64
3. Problem description:
Tomcat is a servlet container for Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP)
technologies.
Some JSPs within the 'examples' web application did not escape user
provided data. If the JSP examples were accessible, this flaw could allow a
remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting attacks (CVE-2007-2449).
Note: it is recommended the 'examples' web application not be installed on
a production system.
The Manager and Host Manager web applications did not escape user provided
data. If a user is logged in to the Manager or Host Manager web
application, an attacker could perform a cross-site scripting attack
(CVE-2007-2450).
Users of Tomcat should update to these erratum packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
