Title:	Apache Tomcat RCE Vulnerability (Mar 2025) - Linux
Summary:	Apache Tomcat is prone to a remote code execution (RCE); vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: Apache Tomcat is prone to a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: The original implementation of partial PUT used a temporary file based on the user provided file name and path with the path separator replaced by '.'. If all of the following are true, a malicious user is able to view security sensitive files and/or inject content into those files: - writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default) - support for partial PUT (enabled by default) - a target URL for security sensitive uploads that is a sub-directory of a target URL for public uploads - attacker knowledge of the names of security sensitive files being uploaded - the security sensitive files also being uploaded via partial PUT If all of the following are true, a malicious user is able to perform remote code execution: - writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default) - support for partial PUT (enabled by default) - application is using Tomcat's file based session persistence with the default storage location - application includes a library that may be leveraged in a deserialization attack Affected Software/OS: Apache Tomcat version 9.0.98 and prior, 10.x through 10.1.34 and 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.2. Note: While not explicitly mentioned by the vendor (due to the EOL status of these branches) it is assumed that the whole 10.x branch and all versions prior to 9.x are affected by these flaws. If you disagree with this assessment and want to accept the risk please create an override for this result. Solution: Update to version 9.0.99, 10.1.35, 11.0.3 or later.
