Red Hat Security Advisory: tomcat security update
Red Hat has issued a security advisory for Apache Tomcat addressing two vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-50379, a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability caused by a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) issue in JSP compilation, and CVE-2025-24813, which may allow RCE, information disclosure, or information corruption via partial PUT requests. The update is rated as having moderate security impact. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support versions are affected, and updated packages are available to remediate these issues.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This advisory covers two security vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat as packaged by Red Hat. CVE-2024-50379 is an RCE vulnerability resulting from a TOCTOU race condition during JSP compilation. CVE-2025-24813 involves potential RCE, information disclosure, or data corruption triggered by partial HTTP PUT requests. Red Hat has released updated Tomcat packages (version 9.0.87-1.el8_8.4) for multiple architectures and variants of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support to address these issues. The advisory references bugzilla entries BZ-2332817 and BZ-2351129 for the respective CVEs. No CVSS scores are provided in the advisory, but the impact is rated moderate by Red Hat Product Security.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-50379 could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely due to a race condition in JSP compilation. CVE-2025-24813 could lead to remote code execution, unauthorized information disclosure, or data corruption through crafted partial PUT requests. These vulnerabilities affect the security and integrity of systems running vulnerable versions of Apache Tomcat on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended Update Support.
