Security bypass vulnerability in the setGlobalContext method in Apache Tomcat via a web application that sets a crafted global context| ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:33121 | Date: (C)2016-03-01 (M)2023-12-14 |
| Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.31 or 9.x before 9.0.0.M3 and is prone to a security bypass vulnerability. A flaw is present in the setGlobalContext method, which does not consider whether ResourceLinkFactory.setGlobalContext callers are authorized. Successful exploitation allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and read or write to arbitrary application data, or cause a denial of service (application disruption).
