Summary
Security update for tomcat6
Details

This update for Tomcat fixes the following security issues:

  • CVE-2014-7810: Security manager bypass via EL expressions. (bsc#931442) It was found that the expression language resolver evaluated expressions within a privileged code section. A malicious web application could have used this flaw to bypass security manager protections.

  • CVE-2014-0227: Limited DoS in chunked transfer encoding input filter. (bsc#917127) It was discovered that the ChunkedInputFilter implementation did not fail subsequent attempts to read input early enough. A remote attacker could have used this flaw to perform a denial of service attack, by streaming an unlimited quantity of data, leading to consumption of server resources.

  • CVE-2014-0230: Non-persistent DoS attack by feeding data by aborting an upload It was possible for a remote attacker to trigger a non-persistent DoS attack by feeding data by aborting an upload. (bsc#926762)

Additionally, the following non-security issues have been fixed:

  • Fix rights of all files within /usr/share/tomcat6/bin. (bsc#906152)
  • Don't overwrite /var/run/tomcat6.pid when Tomcat is already running. (bsc#934219)
  • Miscellaneous fixes and improvements to Tomcat's init script. (bsc#932698)
