-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 225-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze January 9th, 2002 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : tomcat4 Vulnerability : source disclosure Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Id : CAN-2002-1394 A security vulnerability has been confirmed to exist in Apache Tomcat 4.0.x releases, which allows to use a specially crafted URL to return the unprocessed source of a JSP page, or, under special circumstances, a static resource which would otherwise have been protected by a security constraint, without the need for being properly authenticated. This is based on a variant of the exploit that was identified as CAN-2002-1148. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.3-3woody2. The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain tomcat packages. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem does not exist in the current version 4.1.16-1. We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat packages. Installation Instructions - ------------------------- 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.
