Affected packages

• Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: >= 5.5.0, < 5.5.34 → fixed in 5.5.34 • Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: >= 6.0.0, < 6.0.33 → fixed in 6.0.33 • Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: >= 7.0.0, < 7.0.12 → fixed in 7.0.12

Description

DigestAuthenticator.java in the HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12 uses Catalina as the hard-coded server secret (aka private key), which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging knowledge of this string, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184.
