CVE-2016-6325 (CCN-117859)

Assigned:2016-10-10
Published:2016-10-10
Updated:2023-02-12
Summary:The Tomcat package on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 through 7, JBoss Web Server 3.0, and JBoss EWS 2 uses weak permissions for (1) /etc/sysconfig/tomcat and (2) /etc/tomcat/tomcat.conf, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging membership in the tomcat group.
