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, < 7.0.19 → fixed in 7.0.19

Description

Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.19, when the MemoryUserDatabase is used, creates log entries containing passwords upon encountering errors in JMX user creation, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading a log file. This issue was fixed in Apache Tomcat 7.0.17 but the release votes for the 7.0.17 and 7.0.18 release candidates did not pass. Therefore, users must download 7.0.19 to obtain a version that includes a fix.
