Packages
- tomcat7 - Servlet 3.0 and JSP 2.2 Java API classes
Details
It was discovered that the Tomcat SSI printenv command echoed user
provided data without escaping it. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to perform an XSS attack. (CVE-2019-0221)
It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain uncommon
PersistenceManager with FileStore configurations. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2020-9484, CVE-2021-25329)
