What it is about

Apache Tomcat ist ein Web-Applikationsserver für verschiedene Plattformen. Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Apache Tomcat ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Berechtigungen zu erweitern, Daten zu manipulieren oder offenzulegen oder Denial-of-Service-Zustände zu verursachen.

Under what conditions?

The BSI does not name any particular preconditions. Exploitable remotely according to the BSI.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen
  • Berechtigungen zu erweitern
  • Daten zu manipulieren oder offenzulegen oder Denial-of-Service-Zustände zu verursachen
