QID 356243: Amazon Linux Security Advisory for tomcat : ALASTOMCAT8.5-2023-013
a privilege escalation flaw was found in tomcat when the jmx remote lifecycle listener was enabled.
A local attacker without access to the tomcat process or configuration files could be able to manipulate the rmi registry to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
The attacker could then capture user names and passwords used to access the jmx interface and gain complete control over the tomcat instance. (
( CVE-2019-12418) when using form authentication with apache tomcat 9.0.0.m1 to 9.0.29, 8.5.0 to 8.5.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.98 there was a narrow window where an attacker could perform a session fixation attack.
The window was considered too narrow for an exploit to be practical but, erring on the side of caution, this issue has been treated as a security vulnerability. (
( CVE-2019-17563) a flaw was found in apache tomcat, where the payload length in a websocket frame was not correctly validated.
Invalid payload lengths could trigger an infinite loop.
Multiple requests with invalid payload lengths could lead to a denial of service.
The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (
( CVE-2020-13935) the simplified implementation of blocking reads and writes introduced in tomcat 10 and back-ported to tomcat 9.0.47 onwards exposed a long standing (but extremely hard to trigger) concurrency bug in apache tomcat 10.1.0 to 10.1.0-m12, 10.0.0-m1 to 10.0.18, 9.0.0-m1 to 9.0.60 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.77 that could cause client connections to share an http11processor instance resulting in responses, or part responses, to be received by the wrong client. (
This could result in the user agent transmitting the session cookie over an insecure channel. (
( CVE-2023-28708)
Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a securitybreach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
