Description

When using FORM authentication with Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.29, 8.5.0 to 8.5.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.98 there was a narrow window where an attacker could perform a session fixation attack. The window was considered too narrow for an exploit to be practical but, erring on the side of caution, this issue has been treated as a security vulnerability.

Solution(s)

  • apache-tomcat-upgrade-7_0_99
  • apache-tomcat-upgrade-8_5_50
  • apache-tomcat-upgrade-9_0_30
