Mandriva Update for tomcat5 MDKSA-2007:241 (tomcat5)

Check for the Version of tomcat5

A number of vulnerabilities were found in Tomcat: A directory traversal vulnerability, when using certain proxy modules, allows a remote attacker to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) sequence with various slash, backslash, or url-encoded backslash characters (CVE-2007-0450 affects Mandriva Linux 2007.1 only). Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in certain JSP files allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML (CVE-2007-2449). Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the Manager and Host Manager web applications allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML (CVE-2007-2450). Tomcat treated single quotes as delimiters in cookies, which could cause sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked and allow remote attackers to conduct session hijacking attacks (CVE-2007-3382). Tomcat did not properly handle the &quot character sequence in a cookie value, which could cause sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked and allow remote attackers to conduct session hijacking attacks (CVE-2007-3385). A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Host Manager servlet allowed remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and web script via crafted attacks (CVE-2007-3386). Finally, an absolute path traversal vulnerability, under certain configurations, allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a WebDAV write request that specifies an entity with a SYSTEM tag (CVE-2007-5461). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
