JULI logging component in Apache Tomcat does not restrict certain permissions for web applications

Published: 5/1/2022Modified: 11/8/2023

Description

The default catalina.policy in the JULI logging component in Apache Tomcat 5.5.9 through 5.5.25 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.15 does not restrict certain permissions for web applications, which allows attackers to modify logging configuration options and overwrite arbitrary files, as demonstrated by changing the (1) level, (2) directory, and (3) prefix attributes in the `org.apache.juli.FileHandler` handler.
