An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct a timing attack and determine valid usernames on the system. CVSS Base Score: 5.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See [_https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118407_](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118407>) for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) **CVEID:** [_CVE-2016-5018_](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-5018>)** DESCRIPTION:** Apache Tomcat could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a Tomcat utility method to bypass a configured SecurityManager. CVSS Base Score: 4 CVSS Temporal Score: See [_https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118406_](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118406>) for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) **CVEID:** [_CVE-2016-6794_](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-6794>)** DESCRIPTION:** Apache Tomcat could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in the system property replacement feature. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the SecurityManager and read system properties. CVSS Base Score: 4 CVSS Temporal Score: See [_https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118405_](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118405>) for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) **CVEID:** [_CVE-2016-6796_](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-6796>)** DESCRIPTION:** Apache Tomcat could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions. By modifying configuration parameters for the JSP Servlet, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass a configured SecurityManager. CVSS Base Score: 4 CVSS Temporal Score: See [_https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118404_](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118404>) for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) **CVEID:** [_CVE-2016-6797_](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-6797>)** DESCRIPTION:** Apache Tomcat could allow a local attacker to gain unauthorized access to the system, caused by an error in the ResourceLinkFactory. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to arbitrary global JNDI resources. CVSS Base Score: 4 CVSS Temporal Score: See [_https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118403_](<https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118403>) for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) **CVEID:** [_CVE-2016-6816_](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-6816>)** DESCRIPTION:** Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.
