Description

When Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.28, 8.5.0 to 8.5.47, 7.0.0 and 7.0.97 is configured with the JMX Remote Lifecycle Listener, a local attacker without access to the Tomcat process or configuration files is able to manipulate the RMI registry to perform a man-in-the-middle attack to capture user names and passwords used to access the JMX interface. The attacker can then use these credentials to access the JMX interface and gain complete control over the Tomcat instance.

Affected configurations

• apache tomcat (>= 7.0.0 <= 7.0.97) • apache tomcat (>= 8.5.0 <= 8.5.47) • apache tomcat (>= 9.0.0 <= 9.0.28) • debian debian linux 8.0 • debian debian linux 9.0 • debian debian linux 10.0 • oracle workload manager 12.2.0.1 • oracle workload manager 18c • oracle workload manager 19c • canonical ubuntu linux 16.04 • opensuse leap 15.1 • netapp oncommand system manager (>= 3.0.0 <= 3.1.3)
