CVE-2014-0096

TITLE

Apache Tomcat Vulnerability that could bypass the security manager limitation in the default servlet

DESCRIPTION

java/org/apache/catalina/servlets/DefaultServlet.java in the default servlet in Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.53, and 8.x before 8.0.4 does not properly restrict XSLT stylesheets, which allows remote attackers to bypass security-manager restrictions and read arbitrary files via a crafted web application that provides an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue. Description: Red Hat JBoss Data Grid is a distributed in-memory data grid, based on Infinispan. It includes various bug fixes and enhancements which are detailed in the Red Hat JBoss Data Grid 6.3.0 Release Notes. (CVE-2014-0099) It was found that the security audit functionality, provided by Red Hat JBoss Data Grid, logged request parameters in plain text. This may have caused passwords to be included in the audit log files when using BASIC or FORM-based authentication. A local attacker with access to audit log files could possibly use this flaw to obtain application or server authentication credentials. Refer to the Solution section of this advisory for additional information on the fix for this issue. (CVE-2014-0096) It was found that, in certain circumstances, it was possible for a malicious web application to replace the XML parsers used by JBoss Web to process XSLTs for the default servlet, JSP documents, tag library descriptors (TLDs), and tag plug-in configuration files. The injected XML parser(s) could then bypass the limits imposed on XML external entities and/or gain access to the XML files processed for other web applications deployed on the same JBoss Web instance. Solution: The References section of this erratum contains a download link (you must log in to download the update). Before applying this update, back up your existing JBoss Data Grid installation. The provided patch to fix CVE-2014-0058 also allows greater control over which of the following components of web requests are captured in audit logs: - - parameters - - cookies - - headers - - attributes It is also possible to selectively mask some elements of headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes using masks. This capability is provided by two system properties, which are introduced by this patch: 1) org.jboss.security.web.audit Description: This property controls the granularity of the security auditing of web requests. Possible values: off = Disables auditing of web requests headers = Audits only the headers of web requests cookies = Audits only the cookies of web requests parameters = Audits only the parameters of web requests attributes = Audits only the attributes of web requests headers,cookies,parameters = Audits the headers, cookies, and parameters of web requests headers,cookies = Audits the headers and cookies of web requests Default Value: headers, parameters Examples: Setting "org.jboss.security.web.audit=off" disables security auditing of web requests entirely. Setting "org.jboss.security.web.audit=headers" enables security auditing of only headers in web requests. 2) org.jboss.security.web.audit.mask Description: This property can be used to specify a list of strings to be matched against headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes of web requests. Any element matching the specified masks will be excluded from security audit logging. Possible values: Any comma separated string indicating keys of headers, parameters, cookies, and attributes. Default Value: j_password, authorization Note that currently the matching of the masks is fuzzy rather than strict. For example, a mask of "authorization" will mask both the header called authorization and the parameter called "custom_authorization". A future release may introduce strict masks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: tomcat security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:0827-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0827.html Issue date: 2014-07-02 CVE Names: CVE-2014-0075 CVE-2014-0096 CVE-2014-0099 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated tomcat packages that fix three security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client (v. 7) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client Optional (v. 7) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode (v. 7) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional (v. 7) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 7) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 7) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 7) - noarch 3. Description: Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technologies. It was discovered that Apache Tomcat did not limit the length of chunk sizes when using chunked transfer encoding. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform a denial of service attack against Tomcat by streaming an unlimited quantity of data, leading to excessive consumption of server resources. (CVE-2014-0075) It was found that Apache Tomcat did not check for overflowing values when parsing request content length headers. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform an HTTP request smuggling attack on a Tomcat server located behind a reverse proxy that processed the content length header correctly. (CVE-2014-0099) It was found that the org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet implementation in Apache Tomcat allowed the definition of XML External Entities (XXEs) in provided XSLTs. A malicious application could use this to circumvent intended security restrictions to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2014-0096) The CVE-2014-0075 issue was discovered by David Jorm of Red Hat Product Security. All Tomcat 7 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. Tomcat must be restarted for this update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258 5.

It includes various bug fixes, which are listed in the README file included with the patch files. The following security issues are also fixed with this release, descriptions of which can be found on the respective CVE pages linked in the References section. Description: Red Hat JBoss Web Server is a fully integrated and certified set of components for hosting Java web applications. It is comprised of the Apache HTTP Server, the Apache Tomcat Servlet container, Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk), JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), Hibernate, and the Tomcat Native library. This update also fixes the following bugs: * The patch that resolved the CVE-2014-0050 issue contained redundant code. This update removes the redundant code. (BZ#1094528) * The patch that resolved the CVE-2013-4322 issue contained an invalid check that triggered a java.io.EOFException while reading trailer headers for chunked requests. This update fixes the check and the aforementioned exception is no longer triggered in the described scenario. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 201412-29 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: Apache Tomcat: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: December 15, 2014 Bugs: #442014, #469434, #500600, #511762, #517630, #519590 ID: 201412-29 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Apache Tomcat, the worst of which may result in Denial of Service.
