[SECURITY] [DLA 1400-1] tomcat7 security update

Package : tomcat7
Version : 7.0.56-3+really7.0.88-1
CVE ID : CVE-2017-7674 CVE-2017-12616 CVE-2018-1304
CVE-2018-1305 CVE-2018-8014
Debian Bug : 802312 898935

Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Tomcat
servlet and JSP engine.

CVE-2017-7674
The CORS Filter in Apache Tomcat did not add an HTTP Vary header
indicating that the response varies depending on Origin. This
permitted client and server side cache poisoning in some
circumstances.

CVE-2017-12616
When using a VirtualDirContext with Apache Tomcat it was possible to
bypass security constraints and/or view the source code of JSPs for
resources served by the VirtualDirContext using a specially crafted
request.

CVE-2018-1304
The URL pattern of "" (the empty string) which exactly maps to the
context root was not correctly handled in Apache Tomcat when used as
part of a security constraint definition. This caused the constraint
to be ignored. It was, therefore, possible for unauthorized users to
gain access to web application resources that should have been
protected. Only security constraints with a URL pattern of the empty
string were affected.

CVE-2018-1305
Security constraints defined by annotations of Servlets in Apache
Tomcat were only applied once a Servlet had been loaded. Because
security constraints defined in this way apply to the URL pattern
and any URLs below that point, it was possible - depending on the
order Servlets were loaded - for some security constraints not to be
applied. This could have exposed resources to users who were not
authorized to access them.

CVE-2018-8014
The defaults settings for the CORS filter provided in Apache Tomcat
are insecure and enable 'supportsCredentials' for all origins. It is
expected that users of the CORS filter will have configured it
appropriately for their environment rather than using it in the
default configuration. Therefore, it is expected that most users
will not be impacted by this issue.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
7.0.56-3+really7.0.88-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat7 packages.
