RedHat has issued an advisory on May 28:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-0869.html

This adds two new CVEs:
CVE-2013-2051 - fix in previous update for CVE-2012-5887 was incomplete.
CVE-2013-1976 - issue in tomcat init script from RedHat (also affects tomcat5)

I'm not sure if we are using their init script.

Comment 5 David Walser 2013-06-25 00:49:42 CEST
D Morgan has uploaded tomcat6 6.0.37 for Mageia 3 and Cauldron for now.

I'm assuming it fixes CVE-2013-2051, even though upstream fails to mention it.

I'm not sure whether or not we're affected by CVE-2013-1976.

Is there a fix for CVE-2013-2051 in there?

CVE-2013-2051 is fixed.

CVE-2013-1976, probably. Looking at the rhel6 fixes but have a hard time understanding what it fixes really. Is "TOMCAT_LOG" defined somewhere else? I see in the mga2 tomcat6-6.0-tomcat6-sysd file mageia is probably affected.

Given that CVE-2012-5887 was about checking for stale nonces, and you can see some of the relevant code for that in the CVE-2012-5885,5886,5887 patch, I don't see anything dealing with that in the CVE-2012-3544 or CVE-2013-2067 patches, so I'm willing to believe CVE-2013-2051 is fixed in the Mageia 3 update to 6.0.37, but doubt it's fixed in the Mageia 2 update currently.
Comment 11 Oden Eriksson 2013-06-28 10:30:26 CEST
The redhat patch was wrong and generated the CVE-2013-2051 flaw.

This is the correct fix:

Here's what redhat did to fix CVE-2013-2051:

Comment 18 David Walser 2014-01-03 14:33:27 CET
Current status of this:
tomcat5 and tomcat6 have been removed from Cauldron.

tomcat6 has an update candidate in updates_testing for Mageia 3.

The only thing that still needs clarified is the status of CVE-2013-1976, as it may still affect the tomcat6 package, as well as possibly tomcat (tomcat7) in Cauldron, and tomcat and tomcat5 in Mageia 3.
Comment 19 D Morgan 2014-01-07 13:35:45 CET
tomcat7 should be OK we have the very last one in cauldron

Oden posted it in Comment 8.  It's not a patch to the code, but a change to the SPEC file.

If the tomcat7 SPEC file is synced with Fedora, I'll remove this bug from Cauldron, but we'll still need this looked at for the packages in Mageia 3.
Comment 22 David Walser 2014-01-17 17:29:35 CET
Confirmed the Cauldron tomcat spec is in sync with Fedora.

Comment 23 David Walser 2014-02-06 00:37:33 CET
I've added similar changes that Fedora did in these two commits:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/tomcat6.git/commit/?h=f18&id=6d5704edbc4d0c5cc40645bdadca0b5e034aabb2
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/tomcat6.git/commit/?h=f18&id=c6a80ff0b6632d7aff4a52242655847609cd20f7

in my commit here:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=583952

I also added similar changes to the init script in tomcat (tomcat7) in SVN, but I'll let that lie until/unless we issue another update for that during Mageia 3's lifetime.  Similarly, I've also synced the same changes from RHEL5's tomcat5 init script to ours in SVN.

Advisory:
========================

Updated tomcat6 packages fix security vulnerabilities:

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain requests
submitted using chunked transfer encoding. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to cause the Tomcat server to stop responding, resulting in a denial
of service (CVE-2012-3544).

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain authentication
requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to inject a
request that would get executed with a victim's credentials (CVE-2013-2067).

A flaw was found in the way the tomcat6 init script handled the
tomcat6-initd.log log file. A malicious web application deployed on Tomcat
could use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack to change the
ownership of an arbitrary system file to that of the tomcat user, allowing
them to escalate their privileges to root (CVE-2013-1976).

Note: With this update, tomcat6-initd.log has been moved from
/var/log/tomcat6/ to the /var/log/ directory.

In order to satisfy the 'jakarta-commons-logging' dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
 1- jakarta-commons-logging-1.1-5.mga3.noarch: Jakarta Commons Logging Package (to install)

Ok,

so tomcat6 failing to work (or actually it starts but dies some ~30 sec later) comes from a crappy systemd implementation, asn running the server with legacy sysv script makes it work properly
Comment 28 Thomas Backlund 2014-02-16 21:13:19 CET
tomcat6 fixed, and tested on mga3 x86_64 
(so technically a: MGA3-64-OK, but I'll let someone else ack too)

testing as in comment 25

Updated advisory:
****************
Updated tomcat6 packages fix security vulnerabilities:

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain requests
submitted using chunked transfer encoding. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to cause the Tomcat server to stop responding, resulting in a denial
of service (CVE-2012-3544).

A frame injection in the Javadoc component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21
and earlier, 6 Update 45 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 45 and earlier;
JavaFX 2.2.21 and earlier; and OpenJDK 7 allows remote attackers to affect integrity via unknown vectors related to Javadoc (CVE-2013-1571)

A flaw was found in the way the tomcat6 init script handled the
tomcat6-initd.log log file. A malicious web application deployed on Tomcat
could use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack to change the
ownership of an arbitrary system file to that of the tomcat user, allowing
them to escalate their privileges to root (CVE-2013-1976).

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain authentication
requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to inject a
request that would get executed with a victim's credentials (CVE-2013-2067).

Note: With this update, tomcat6-initd.log has been moved from
/var/log/tomcat6/ to the /var/log/ directory.

Comment 29 claire robinson 2014-02-17 10:01:53 CET
Testing complete mga3 64, thanks Thomas.

Configured user/pass tomcat/tomcat to use manager-gui at the bottom of /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-user.xml as below, removing the comment arrows from the role section and adding a line..

  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <role rolename="role1"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat, manager-gui"/>
  <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
  <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>


<!-- The host manager webapp is restricted to users with role "admin" -->
<!--<user name="tomcat" password="password" roles="admin" />-->
<!-- The manager webapp is restricted to users with role "manager" -->
<!--<user name="tomcat" password="password" roles="manager" />-->
</tomcat-users>


Started tomcat6 service (which took a short while) and browsed to http://localhost:8080 to ensure it was working before installing the update.

Installed the updated packages, restarted the service (systemctl restart tomcat6.service) and logged in at http://localhost:8080 with user/pass tomcat/tomcat. Also checked http://localhost:8080/sample and 'executed' each of the jsp examples at http://localhost:8080/examples looking for obvious errors.

Checked the service could be started and stopped without issue

Comment 34 David Walser 2014-03-06 20:39:07 CET
On February 25, a few more CVEs for tomcat6 were announced, which were fixed in 6.0.39, so when Thomas updated it to 6.0.39 at the last minute for this update, we unknowingly solved several more security issues :o)

They are CVE-2013-4286, CVE-2013-4322, CVE-2013-4590, CVE-2014-0033:
http://tomcat.apache.org/security-6.html

Ubuntu listed three of those in an advisory today (March 6):
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2130-1/

from http://lwn.net/Vulnerabilities/589752/

CVE-2014-0033 does not affect tomcat 7, but the others do (fixed in 7.0.47 and 7.0.50), so we'll need another tomcat 7 update for those.
