CVE-2014-0096

Publication date 31 May 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

java/org/apache/catalina/servlets/DefaultServlet.java in the default servlet in Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.53, and 8.x before 8.0.4 does not properly restrict XSLT stylesheets, which allows remote attackers to bypass security-manager restrictions and read arbitrary files via a crafted web application that provides an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that Tomcat did not properly restrict XSLT stylesheets. An attacker could use this issue with a crafted web application to bypass security-manager restrictions and read arbitrary files.
