-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 169-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze October, 4th, 2002 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : tomcat4 Vulnerability : source code disclosure Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no A security vulnerability has been found in all Tomcat 4.x releases. This problem allows an attacker to use a specially crafted URL to return the unprocessed source code of a JSP page, or, under special circumstances, a static resource which would otherwise have been protected by security constraints, without the need for being properly authenticated. This problem has been fixed in version 4.0.3-3woody1 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 4.1.12-1 for the unstable release (sid). The old stable release (potato) does not contain tomcat packages. Also, packages for tomcat3 are not vulnerable to this problem. We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
