AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This advisory covers two security fixes for Apache Tomcat on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2. The first vulnerability (CVE-2024-50379) is an RCE caused by a TOCTOU race condition during JSP compilation. The second vulnerability (CVE-2025-24813) involves potential RCE, information disclosure, or corruption triggered by partial HTTP PUT requests. Red Hat has released updated Tomcat packages (version 9.0.87-1.el9_2.3) that address these issues. The advisory rates the overall impact as moderate and references the official Red Hat errata RHSA-2025:3646 for detailed patch instructions.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-50379 could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Extended Update Support and related variants running vulnerable Tomcat versions prior to the patched release. No known exploits in the wild have been reported at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released official updates for Apache Tomcat in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Extended Update Support and related variants to address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the updated packages (tomcat-9.0.87-1.el9_2.3) as detailed in Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:3646 and the update instructions at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258.
