Apache Tomcat 8.0.x < 8.0.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 8.0.x listening on the remote host is prior to 8.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

• An error exists related to chunk size and chunked requests that allow denial of service attacks. (CVE-2014-0075)

• An error exists related to content length header handling and Apache JServ Protocol (AJP) requests that allow denial of service attacks. (CVE-2014-0095)

• An error exists related to XSLT handling and security managers that allow a security bypass related to external XML entities. (CVE-2014-0096)

• An error exists related to content length header handling and using the application behind a reverse proxy that could allow security bypass. (CVE-2014-0099)

Note that Nessus Network Monitor has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
