| Detailed Description |
According to its self-reported version number, the Apache Tomcat listening on the remote host is earlier than Tomcat 6.0.18 and, as such, may be affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
- The remote Apache Tomcat install is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. Improper input validation allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary script code or HTML into the message argument used by the HttpServletResponse.sendError method. (CVE-2008-1232)
- A cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the host manager application that could allow a remote attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the hostname parameter. (CVE-2008-1947)
- A traversal vulnerability was found when using a RequestDispatcher in combination with a servlet or JSP that could allow a remote attacker to utilize a specially-crafted request parameter to access protected web resources. (CVE-2008-2370)
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
