The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3024-1 advisory.
It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled pathnames used by web applications in a getResource, getResourceAsStream, or getResourcePaths call. A remote attacker could use this issue to possibly list a parent directory . This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10.
(CVE-2015-5174)
It was discovered that the Tomcat mapper component incorrectly handled redirects. A remote attacker could use this issue to determine the existence of a directory. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2015-5345)
It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled different session settings when multiple versions of the same web application was deployed. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to hijack web sessions.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2015-5346)
It was discovered that the Tomcat Manager and Host Manager applications incorrectly handled new requests.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass CSRF protection mechanisms. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2015-5351)
It was discovered that Tomcat did not place StatusManagerServlet on the RestrictedServlets list. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to read arbitrary HTTP requests, including session ID values. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2016-0706)
It was discovered that the Tomcat session-persistence implementation incorrectly handled session attributes. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10. (CVE-2016-0714)
It was discovered that the Tomcat setGlobalContext method incorrectly checked if callers were authorized.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to read or wite to arbitrary application data, or cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10.
(CVE-2016-0763)
It was discovered that the Tomcat Fileupload library incorrectly handled certain upload requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-3092)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
