Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2020.0054
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2020-0054)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'tomcat' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0054 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'tomcat' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0054 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
When Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.28, 8.5.0 to 8.5.47, 7.0.0 and 7.0.97
is configured with the JMX Remote Lifecycle Listener, a local attacker
without access to the Tomcat process or configuration files is able to
manipulate the RMI registry to perform a man-in-the-middle attack to
capture user names and passwords used to access the JMX interface. The
attacker can then use these credentials 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)

Affected Software/OS:
'tomcat' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.1
