Descriptions

The autodeployment process in Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.28 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.20, when autoDeploy is enabled, deploys appBase files that remain from a failed undeploy, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended authentication requirements via HTTP requests.

El proceso de auto despliegue en Apache Tomcat desde v5.5.0 hasta v5.5.28 y desde v6.0.0 hasta v6.0.20, cuando AutoDeploy esta activado, despliega ficheros appBase que se mantienen de un plegado fallido lo que permite a atacantes remotos evitar la autenticación a través de peticiones HTTP.

Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified in 3rd party software used in HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor running Oracle and Apache Tomcat Software. HP has updated the Apache Tomcat and Oracle database software to address vulnerabilities affecting confidentiality, availability, and integrity. Revision 1 of this advisory.
