Descriptions

The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.36, 6.x before 6.0.36, and 7.x before 7.0.30 caches information about the authenticated user within the session state, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass authentication via vectors related to the session ID.

La implementación de HTTP Digest Access Authentication en Apache Tomcat v5.5.x antes de v5.5.36, 6.x antes 6.0.36, v7.x antes de v7.0.30 cachés información sobre el usuario autenticado en el estado de la sesión, lo que hace que sea más fácil para los atacantes remotos evitar la autenticación a través de vectores relacionados a la ID de sesión.
