 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2013:004
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : tomcat5
 Date    : January 10, 2013
 Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Multiple vulnerabilites has been found and corrected in tomcat5:

 The replay-countermeasure functionality in the HTTP Digest Access
 Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.36, 6.x
 before 6.0.36, and 7.x before 7.0.30 tracks cnonce (aka client nonce)
 values instead of nonce (aka server nonce) and nc (aka nonce-count)
 values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended
 access restrictions by sniffing the network for valid requests,
 a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184 (CVE-2012-5885).

 The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat
 5.5.x before 5.5.36, 6.x before 6.0.36, and 7.x before 7.0.30 caches
 information about the authenticated user within the session state,
 which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass authentication
 via vectors related to the session ID (CVE-2012-5886).

 The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat
 5.5.x before 5.5.36, 6.x before 6.0.36, and 7.x before 7.0.30 does not
 properly check for stale nonce values in conjunction with enforcement
 of proper credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers
 to bypass intended access restrictions by sniffing the network for
 valid requests (CVE-2012-5887).

 The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
