Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere in Apache Tomcat

Published Apr 17, 2017 · Updated Oct 15, 2026 · Assigned by apache

Vendor: Apache Software Foundation Product: Apache Tomcat Package: org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina Package: org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core Package: tomcat7 Package: tomcat8 Ecosystem: Maven Ecosystem: Ubuntu

Description

While investigating bug 60718, it was noticed that some calls to application listeners in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.11, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.41, and 7.0.0 to 7.0.75 did not use the appropriate facade object. When running an untrusted application under a SecurityManager, it was therefore possible for that untrusted application to retain a reference to the request or response object and thereby access and/or modify information associated with another web application.
