Security Vulnerability in Portals Zones
---------------------------------------
Key: JS2-1240
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-1240
Project: Jetspeed 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Deployment, Installer
Affects Versions: 2.2.1
Reporter: David Sean Taylor
Assignee: David Sean Taylor
Fix For: 2.2.2
As reported by Apache Security Team:
It has come to the attention of the ASF security team that the latest
version of Jetspeed ships with a critical security vulnerability that
permits a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The details of the vulnerability are as follows:
- - Jetspeed 2.2.1 includes version 6.0.18 of Apache Tomcat
- - Jetspeed 2.2.1 includes the Tomcat manager application
- - The default tomcat-users.xml file has been modified to include an
enabled administrative user with an insecure default password
This means that a default installation of Jetspeed 2.2.1 is vulnerable
to remote execution of arbitrary code via deployment of malicious web
applications using Tomcat's Manager application. Remote execution of
arbitrary code is a critical (the highest rating) security vulnerability.
The Portals PMC should also be aware that Tomcat 6.0.18 is 2.5 years old
and itself has a number of security vulnerabilities. [1]
