[CVE-2007-5342] Apache Tomcat's default security policy is too open

Description:
The JULI logging component allows web applications to provide their own
logging configurations. The default security policy does not restrict this
configuration and allows an untrusted web application to add files or
overwrite existing files where the Tomcat process has the necessary file
permissions to do so.

Mitigation:
Apply the following patch to the catalina.policy file
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=606594&view=rev
The patch will be included in 5.5.25 onwards and 6.0.16 onwards

This vulnerability is only exploitable if the victim is allowed to view
graphs. This will be true if the victim has previously authenticated
against Cacti or if both the guest user has been activated (default:
disabled) and the graph view permission was set to 'guest' (default:
'No User').

This vulnerability was tested with Firefox 3.0.6.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Apache Server HTML Injection and UTF-7 XSS Vulnerability

The user can still manually override the charset to UTF-7 via the browser menu, regardless of anything the Apache server sends.

re: "There is no problem to trick the victim and force him to change the encoding of his browser by little social engineering"

For the Apache 403 error page, the only opportunity to "trick" the victim is within the URL itself. It would be quite a feat of social engineering to do this within a URL, between the phrases "You don't have permission to access" and "on this server".

There are many possible malicious strings in UTF-7, and any sequence of character values less than 0x80 starting with a "+" is potentially a UTF-7 string.  This is why it is not appropriate for browsers to automatically interpret text as UTF-7.  Preventing a user from manually overriding the specified charset and interpreting strings as UTF-7 is not something a web server can do. If you feel this manual function should be disabled in browsers, it may be better to let the browser developers know.

Only the access content permission is needed to access the page which

autocompletion widget, resulting in an information disclosure

Re: /proc filesystem allows bypassing directory permissions on Linux

That said, the user in the example already has access to the file (in
a running process), and would be able to do so again, *if he had
access to a directory where the file was hard-linked*.  Pavel
described that the sysadmin checked for that, but even if this worked
as expected, there's a race condition where the user could create the
hard link after the sysadmin checked, but before the permissions were
corrected.  Unlikely, I know... but possible.

There's a nearly identical case that works in all Unixen, AFAIK:  You
have /a/b/file1, which is writable to user1.  The user has permission
to descend /a and /a/b.  At some point user1 does a cd to /a/b.  Then

Re: /proc filesystem allows bypassing directory permissions on Linux

It works on Debian 2.6.26 out of the box. It is not an obscure patched
kernel case I am afraid. 

If you redir an FD to a file using thus redir-ed FD in /proc allows you
to bypass directory permissions for where the file is located.
Thankfully, file permissions still apply so you need an app which has
silly file perms in a bolted down directory for this.

Symlinking the same file to a link on a normal ext3 or nfs filesystem as
a sanity check shows correct permission behaviour. If you try to write

initial read-only.

Do a strace on your test and you will see that the 'file descriptor'  
in /proc
will be accessed as an ordinairy file. After checking the directory  
permissions
of that particular file an open will be performed on '/proc/self/fd/0'  
and a new
O_WRONLY file descriptor is being created.

As Martin Rex already explained yesterday, /proc is all virtual.

Apple OSX Leopard (10.5+), inadequate ACL insight can create vuln

OSX 10.5 "Leopard" has activated ACL use and gives ACLs preference over standard POSIX permission bits.  Apple's "Get Info" GUI sets and displays an odd and confusing mix of POSIX and ACL settings, leaving plenty of room for confused security.

Unfortunately, there are not yet adequate tools to detect ACL changes.  Tools like open-source Tripwire only check POSIX permission bits (a feature request has been submitted for ACL support in open-source Tripwire).  Apple's proprietary Disk Utility appears to only check what Apple wants to check (it probably leaves areas like user files vulnerable).

Historically, a number of legitimate and less-than-legitimate software installers have altered the POSIX permission settings for key system files and directories.  Those alterations could easily be extended to ACLs, and would be more difficult to detect, since there are almost no tools to find them.

Users should carefully consider if the risks of using ACLs in OSX outweigh the benefits.  For many systems with a small number of users, ACLs are massive overkill, and should probably be disabled.  The following command disables ACLs on the root volume (the command only operates on each volume):

# fsaclctl -p / -d
