Descriptions

native/unix/native/jsvc-unix.c in jsvc in the Daemon component 1.0.3 through 1.0.6 in Apache Commons, as used in Apache Tomcat 5.5.32 through 5.5.33, 6.0.30 through 6.0.32, and 7.0.x before 7.0.20 on Linux, does not drop capabilities, which allows remote attackers to bypass read permissions for files via a request to an application.

native/unix/native/jsvc-unix.c en jsvc en el componente Daemon v1.0.3 hasta v1.0.6 en Apache Commons, usado en Apache Tomcat v5.5.32 hasta v5.5.33, v6.0.30 hasta v6.0.32, y v7.0.x anterior a v7.0.20 en LinuxApache Commons, no elimina permisos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos evitar permisos de lectura para ficheros a través de una petición en una aplicación.

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.
