Huawei EulerOS: Security Advisory for tomcat (EulerOS-SA-2017-1082)

The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'tomcat' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2017-1082 advisory.

It was discovered that the code that parsed the HTTP request line permitted invalid characters. This could be exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that also permitted the invalid characters but with a different interpretation, to inject data into the HTTP response. By manipulating the HTTP response the attacker could poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack, or obtain sensitive information from requests other then their own. (CVE-2016-6816) A bug was discovered in the error handling of the send file code for the NIO HTTP connector. This led to the current Processor object being added to the Processor cache multiple times allowing information leakage between requests including, and not limited to, session ID and the response body. (CVE-2016-8745)

'tomcat' package(s) on Huawei EulerOS V2.0SP2.
