来自 Apache 网站的消息:CVE-2010-3718 Apache Tomcat Local bypass of security manger file permissions
Severity: Low
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
受影响的版本(oschina目前用的是7.0.6): - Tomcat 7.0.0 to 7.0.3 - Tomcat 6.0.0 to 6.0.? - Tomcat 5.5.0 to 5.5.? - Earlier, unsupported versions may also be affected
漏洞描述: When running under a SecurityManager, access to the file system is limited but web applications are granted read/write permissions to the work directory. This directory is used for a variety of temporary files such as the intermediate files generated when compiling JSPs to Servlets. The location of the work directory is specified by a ServletContect attribute that is meant to be read-only to web applications. However, due to a coding error, the read-only setting was not applied. Therefore a malicious web application may modify the attribute before Tomcat applies the file permissions. This can be used to grant read/write permissions to any area on the file system which a malicious web application may then take advantage of. This vulnerability is only applicable when hosting web applications from untrusted sources such as shared hosting environments.
Mitigation: Users of affected versions should apply one of the following mitigations: - Upgrade to a Tomcat version where this issue is fixed - Undeploy all web applications from untrusted sources
Credit: The issue was identified by the Tomcat security team.
