The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 9.0.98. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_9.0.98_security-9 advisory.
- If the default servlet is write enabled (readonly initialisation parameter set to the non-default value of false) for a case insensitive file system, concurrent read and upload under load of the same file can bypass Tomcat's case sensitivity checks and cause an uploaded file to be treated as a JSP leading to remote code execution. (CVE-2024-50379)
- Numerous examples in the examples web application did not place limits on uploaded data enabling an OutOfMemoryError to be triggered causing a denial of service. (CVE-2024-54677)
