CVE-2017-12615 Details
Description
When running Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 to 7.0.79 on Windows with HTTP PUTs enabled (e.g. via setting the readonly initialisation parameter of the Default to false) it was possible to upload a JSP file to the server via a specially crafted request. This JSP could then be requested and any code it contained would be executed by the server.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in Apache Tomcat versions 7.0.0 to 7.0.79, running on Windows. When HTTP PUT requests are enabled, it is possible to upload a JSP file to the server through a specially crafted request. The uploaded JSP file can then be accessed, and any code it contains will be executed by the server. This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of file uploads, allowing malicious JSP files to be uploaded and executed.
Users should upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 7.0.81 or later. For Red Hat JBoss Web Server users, version 3.1.0 Service Pack 2 is available.
