Improper Authentication in Apache Tomcat
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.apache.tomcat:tomcat | >= 5.5.0, < 5.5.29 | 5.5.29 |
| Maven | org.apache.tomcat:tomcat | >= 6.0.0, < 6.0.24 | 6.0.24 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
The autodeployment process in Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.28 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.20, when autoDeploy is enabled, deploys appBase files that remain from a failed undeploy, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended authentication requirements via HTTP requests.
