Apache Tomcat 9.0.0 < 9.0.10 Multiple Vulnerabilites

critical Nessus Plugin ID 111069

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 9.0.x prior to 9.0.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
A security misconfiguration vulnerability exists in Apache Tomcat prior to version 9.0.9 due to insecure default settings for the CORS filter (CVE-2018-8014).
A security misconfiguration vulnerability exists in Apache Tomcat prior to version 9.0.10. Hostname validation was not enabled by default when using TLS with the WebSocket client (CVE-2018-8034).

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in Apache Tomcat prior to version 9.0.10 due to a race condition. If an async request was completed by the application at the same time as the container triggered the async timeout, this could lead to a user being sent the response of another user (CVE-2018-8037).

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 9.0.9 or later.
