CVE-2011-5062

La implementación HTTP Digest Access Authentication en Apache Tomcat v5.5.x anterior a v5.5.34, v6.x anterior a v6.0.33, y v7.x anterior a v7.0.12 no comprueba valores qop, lo que puede permitir a atacantes remotos eludir los requerimientos de protección-integridad mediante un valor qoq=auth, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2011-1184.

JBoss Web is the web container, based on Apache Tomcat, in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. It provides a single deployment platform for the JavaServer Pages and Java Servlet technologies. A flaw was found in the way JBoss Web handled UTF-8 surrogate pair characters. If JBoss Web was hosting an application with UTF-8 character encoding enabled, or that included user-supplied UTF-8 strings in a response, a remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on the JBoss Web server. It was found that the Java hashCode() method implementation was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause JBoss Web to use an excessive amount of CPU time by sending an HTTP request with a large number of parameters whose names map to the same hash value. This update introduces a limit on the number of parameters and headers processed per request to mitigate this issue. The default limit is 512 for parameters and 128 for headers. These defaults can be changed by setting the org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Parameters.MAX_COUNT and org.apache.tomcat.util.http.MimeHeaders.MAX_COUNT system properties in "jboss-as/server/[PROFILE]/deploy/properties-service.xml".
