Descriptions

Unchecked Error Condition vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. If Tomcat is configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication (formerly JASPIC) ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to indicate failure, the authentication may not fail, allowing the user to bypass the authentication process. There are no known Jakarta Authentication components that behave in this way.

This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M26, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.30, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.95.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0, 10.1.31 or 9.0.96, which fix the issue.

Vulnerabilidad de condición de error no comprobada en Apache Tomcat. Si Tomcat está configurado para utilizar un componente ServerAuthContext de autenticación de Jakarta (anteriormente JASPIC) personalizado que puede generar una excepción durante el proceso de autenticación sin establecer explícitamente un estado HTTP para indicar un error, la autenticación puede no fallar, lo que permite al usuario omitir el proceso de autenticación. No se conocen componentes de autenticación de Jakarta que se comporten de esta manera. Este problema afecta a Apache Tomcat: desde 11.0.0-M1 hasta 11.0.0-M26, desde 10.1.0-M1 hasta 10.1.30, desde 9.0.0-M1 hasta 9.0.95. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen a la versión 11.0.0, 10.1.31 o 9.0.96, que solucionan el problema.
