"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2008-90:02 advisory.

    Tomcat is the servlet container that is used in the official Reference Implementation for the Java Servlet
    and JavaServer Pages technologies.
    The Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages specifications are developed by Sun under the Java Community
    Process.
    CVE-2008-1232:
    Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.37, 5.5.0 through 5.5.26, and
    6.0.0 through 6.0.16 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted string
    that is used in the message argument to the HttpServletResponse.sendError method.
    CVE-2008-1947:
    Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 5.5.9 through 5.5.26 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.16
    allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the name parameter (aka the hostname
    attribute) to host-manager/html/add.
    CVE-2008-2370:
    Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.37, 5.5.0 through 5.5.26, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.16, when a
    RequestDispatcher is used, performs path normalization before removing the query string from the URI,
    which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files via a ..
    (dot dot) in a request parameter.
    CVE-2008-2938:
    Directory traversal vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.37, 5.5.0 through 5.5.26, and 6.0.0
    through 6.0.16, when allowLinking and UTF-8 are enabled, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files
    via encoded directory traversal sequences in the URI, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2370.
    NOTE: versions earlier than 6.0.18 were reported affected, but the vendor advisory lists 6.0.16 as the
    last affected version.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
