CVE ID: CVE-2014-0075
Description: Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the
improper handling of a malformed chunk size as part of a chunked request. A
remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93365 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)

CVE ID: CVE-2014-0096
Description: Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by an XML External Entity Injection (XXE) error when
processing XML data by the default server. By sending specially-crafted XML
data, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive
information.
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93367 for the
current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVE ID: CVE-2014-0099
Description: Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by the failure to check for overflows when parsing content
length headers. By sending specially-crafted request, an attacker could
exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base Score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/93369 for the

CVE ID: CVE-2014-0119
Description: Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive
information, caused by the replacement of the XML parsers used to process
XSLTs for the default servlet. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability
using a specially-crafted application to obtain sensitive information.

Affected Products and Versions
Rational Test Control Panel component in Rational Test Virtualization Server
and Rational Test Workbench versions:
All 8.0.x
All 8.5.0.x
Versions 8.5.1 and later are unaffected as they do not use Apache Tomcat.
Remediation/Fixes
The fixes for the CVEs mentioned above have been incorporated into the 7.0.54
release of Apache Tomcat. You should upgrade your installation by following
the instructions below.
Download the fix for your product from Fix Central:
Rational Test Workbench - 7.0.54-Rational-RTW-Tomcat-zip
Rational Test Virtualization Server - 7.0.54-Rational-RTVS-Tomcat-zip
Unzip the downloaded file to a directory.
Stop the server.
In the existing RTCP installation, save the files logging.properties and
server.xml to a separate location.
The default installation locations for these files are:
Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalTestControlPanel\conf\
AIX, Linux, Solaris: /opt/IBM/RationalTestControlPanel/conf/
Copy the contents of the unzipped Tomcat directory (except for the LICENSE
file) into the RationalTestControlPanel directory, overwriting the existing
files.
Copy the two configuration files you saved earlier back into /conf.
Start the server.
Notes:
When updating an installation to a later version of Rational Test Control
Panel, the security fix detailed above will have to be re-applied after the
RTCP update
When removing an installation that has had the security fix applied, not all
the files will be removed by IBM Installation Manager, and some files will
have to be removed manually.
