Type:	Security Advisory
Severity:	Moderate
Issued on:	2007-07-17
Last updated on:	2007-07-17

CVEs (cve.mitre.org):	CVE-2007-2449 CVE-2007-2450

Details

Updated tomcat packages that fix two security issues and a packaging bug
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

Tomcat is a servlet container for Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP)
technologies.

Some JSPs within the 'examples' web application did not escape user
provided data. If the JSP examples were accessible, this flaw could allow a
remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting attacks (CVE-2007-2449).

Note: it is recommended the 'examples' web application not be installed on
a production system.

The Manager and Host Manager web applications did not escape user provided
data. If a user is logged in to the Manager or Host Manager web
application, an attacker could perform a cross-site scripting attack
(CVE-2007-2450).

Users of Tomcat should update to these erratum packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
