Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.apache.tomcat:tomcat | >= 7.0.0, < 7.0.4 | 7.0.4 |
| Maven | org.apache.tomcat:tomcat | >= 6.0.0, < 6.0.30 | 6.0.30 |
| Maven | org.apache.tomcat:tomcat | >= 5.5.0, < 5.5.30 | 5.5.30 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 through 7.0.3, 6.0.x, and 5.5.x, when running within a SecurityManager, does not make the ServletContext attribute read-only, which allows local web applications to read or write files outside of the intended working directory, as demonstrated using a directory traversal attack.
