According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 4.x listening on the remote host is prior to 4.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
An error exists in the handling of malformed packets that can cause the processing thread to become unresponsive. A sequence of such requests can cause all threads to become unresponsive. (CVE-2003-0866)
Two example servlets, ‘snoop’ and a troubleshooting servlet, disclose the Apache Tomcat installation path.
(CVE-2002-2006)
It has also been reported that this version of Tomcat is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.
The contents of a request URL are not sanitized before being returned to the browser should an error occur.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
