AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This advisory covers two security fixes for Apache Tomcat on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4. The first vulnerability (CVE-2024-50379) is an RCE caused by a TOCTOU race condition in JSP compilation. The second (CVE-2025-24813) involves potential remote code execution, information disclosure, or corruption triggered by partial PUT HTTP requests. Red Hat has released updated Tomcat packages (version 9.0.87-1.el9_4.3) to address these vulnerabilities. The advisory rates the impact as moderate and provides detailed package updates for multiple architectures and product variants.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-50379 could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code due to a race condition in JSP compilation. CVE-2025-24813 could enable remote attackers to execute code, disclose sensitive information, or corrupt data by exploiting partial PUT requests. These vulnerabilities affect the security and integrity of applications running on affected Tomcat versions, potentially leading to unauthorized control or data compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released official security updates for Apache Tomcat in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Extended Update Support and related variants. Users should apply the updated packages (tomcat-9.0.87-1.el9_4.3 and related) as detailed in Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:3647 and the article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258.
