According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 4.x listening on the remote host is prior to 4.1.32. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
The remote Apache Tomcat install is vulnerable to a denial of service attack. If directory listing is enabled, function calls to retrieve the contents of large directories can degrade performance.
(CVE-2005-3510)
The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack if the JSP examples are enabled. Several of these JSP examples do not properly validate user input. (CVE-2005-4838)
The remote Apache Tomcat install allows remote users to list the contents of a directory by placing a semicolon before a filename with a mapped extension.
(CVE-2006-3835)
If enabled, the JSP calendar example application is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack because user input is not properly validated. (CVE-2006-7196)
The remote Apache Tomcat install, in its default configuration, permits the use of insecure ciphers when using SSL. (CVE-2007-1858)
The remote Apache Tomcat install may be vulnerable to an information disclosure attack by allowing requests from a non-permitted IP address to gain access to a context that is protected with a valve that extends RequestFilterValve. (CVE-2008-3271)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the applicationโs self-reported version number.
