Debian Security Advisory DSA-1453-1 [email protected]

Package : tomcat5
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-3382 CVE-2007-3385 CVE-2007-5461
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Tomcat
servlet and JSP engine. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:
CVE-2007-3382
It was discovered that single quotes (') in cookies were treated
as a delimiter, which could lead to an information leak.
CVE-2007-3385
It was discovered that the character sequence \" in cookies was
handled incorrectly, which could lead to an information leak.
CVE-2007-5461
It was discovered that the WebDAV servlet is vulnerable to absolute
path traversal.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 5.0.30-12etch1.
The old stable distribution (sarge) doesn't contain tomcat5.
The unstable distribution (sid) no longer contains tomcat5.
We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat5 packages.
