Improper Authentication in Apache Tomcat

Source: GitHub Advisory Database (reviewed) Moderate CVE-2013-2067

Packages

EcosystemPackageAffectedFixed in
Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat >= 6.0.21, < 6.0.37 6.0.37

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

java/org/apache/catalina/authenticator/FormAuthenticator.java in the form authentication feature in Apache Tomcat 6.0.21 through 6.0.36 and 7.x before 7.0.33 does not properly handle the relationships between authentication requirements and sessions, which allows remote attackers to inject a request into a session by sending this request during completion of the login form, a variant of a session fixation attack.
