Security Bulletin: Security vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat affect Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (CVE-2016-6816, CVE-2016-8735)

Description

## Summary The Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI) is shipped with a version of the Apache Tomcat web server which contains security vulnerabilities that could have a potential security impact. ## Vulnerability Details **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. CVSS Base Score: 6.1 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119158> for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) **CVEID:** [CVE-2016-8735](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2016-8735>)** DESCRIPTION:** Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error in the JmxRemoteLifecycleListener. By sending specially crafted data to a JMX port, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges. CVSS Base Score: 7.3 CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119157> 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:L/A:L) ## Affected Products and Versions Principal Product and Version(s) | Affected Supporting Product(s) and Version(s) ---|--- RRDI 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.3 and 2.0.4| Cognos BI 10.1.1 RRDI 2.0.5 and 2.0.6| Cognos BI 10.2.1 RRDI 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2| Cognos BI 10.2.1 Fix pack 2 Jazz Reporting Service 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 ## Remediation/Fixes Apply the recommended fixes to all affected versions of RRDI.
