| Detailed Description |
According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 7.x listening on the remote host is earlier than 7.0.17. As such, it is potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities:
- An error handling issue exists related to the MemoryUserDatabase that allows user passwords to be disclosed through log files. (CVE-2011-2204)
- An input validation error exists that allows a local attacker to either bypass security or carry out denial of service attacks when the APR or NIO connectors are
enabled. (CVE-2011-2526)
* 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.
