Description:
Oliver Karow has discovered some vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Various input passed to the "Tomcat Manager" is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Example:
http://[host]:8080/manager/html/[code]
http://[host]:8080/manager/html/stop?path=[code]
http://[host]:8080/manager/html/start?path=[code]
Successful exploitation requires that the user has been authenticated.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 5.5.4. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 5.5.7 or later.
