The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.30. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_7.0.30_security-7 advisory.
Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.37 and 7.x before 7.0.30 does not properly handle chunk extensions in chunked transfer coding, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by streaming data.
(CVE-2012-3544)
Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2012-5885, CVE-2012-5886, CVE-2012-5887. Reason: This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2012-5885, CVE-2012-5886, and CVE-2012-5887.
Notes: All CVE users should reference one or more of CVE-2012-5885, CVE-2012-5886, and CVE-2012-5887 instead of this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage. (CVE-2012-3439)
org/apache/catalina/realm/RealmBase.java in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.36 and 7.x before 7.0.30, when FORM authentication is used, allows remote attackers to bypass security-constraint checks by leveraging a previous setUserPrincipal call and then placing /j_security_check at the end of a URI. (CVE-2012-3546)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
