Security Bulletin
Summary
Apache Tomcat that is bundled with Policy Tester is vulnerable to remote
hijacking and denial of service vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Details
CVE ID:
CVE-2014-0033
DESCRIPTION:
The Apache Tomcat version that is bundled with Policy Tester could allow a
remote attacker to hijack a valid user's session, caused by an error even when
disableURLRewriting is enabled. By persuading a victim to visit a
specially-crafted link and log into the application, a remote attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to hijack another user's account and possibly
launch further attacks on the system.
The attack does not require local network access nor does it require
authentication, but some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques are
required. An exploit would not impact accessibility of the system or the
confidentiality of information, however the integrity of data could be
compromised.

CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
CVE ID:
CVE-2013-4322
DESCRIPTION:
The Apache Tomcat version that is bundled with Policy Tester is vulnerable to
a denial of service, caused by an incomplete fix related to the processing of
chunked transfer coding without properly handling a large total amount of
chunked data or whitespace characters in an HTTP header value. A remote
attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
The attack does not require local network access, authentication, or
specialized knowledge and techniques. An exploit would not impact the
confidentiality of information or the integrity of data, however accessibility
of the system could be compromised.
