Tomcat package on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 through 7, JBoss Web Server 3.0, and JBoss EWS 2 is vulnerable to privilege escalation attacks. Due to the setting of weak permissions in (1) /etc/sysconfig/tomcat and (2) /etc/tomcat/tomcat.conf, a member of the group or a malicious web application deployed on Tomcat is allowed to escalate their privileges.
