Descriptions

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in jsp/cal/cal2.jsp in the calendar application in the examples web application in Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.18 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the time parameter, related to "invalid HTML."

Una vulnerabilidad de ejecución de secuencias de comandos en sitios cruzados (XSS) en jsp/cal/cal2.jsp en la aplicación 'calendar' de los ejemplos de aplicaciones Web de Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 a 4.1.39, 5.5.0 a 5.5.27 y 6.0.0 a 6.0.18 permite a atacantes remotos inyectar HTML o scripts web arbitrarios a través del parámetro 'time', en relación a un "HTML no válido."

The calendar application for Apache Tomcat contains invalid HTML which renders the cross site scripting protection for the time parameter ineffective. An attacker can therefore perform an cross site scripting attack using the time attribute. Version affected include Tomcat 6.0.0 to 6.0.18, Tomcat 5.5.0 to 5.5.27, and Tomcat 4.1.0 to 4.1.39.
