CVEID:   CVE-2020-8022
DESCRIPTION:   tomcat package for openSUSE could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by an incorrect default permission flaw. By sending a specially-crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges as root.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/184110 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2014-0230
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when an HTTP response is returned before the entire request body is fully read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a series of aborted upload attempts to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/102131 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)

CVEID:   CVE-2016-5018
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Tomcat could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a Tomcat utility method to bypass a configured SecurityManager.
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118406 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2017-5647
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in the processing of pipelined requests in send file. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information from the wrong response.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/124400 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2016-6797
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Tomcat could allow a local attacker to gain unauthorized access to the system, caused by an error in the ResourceLinkFactory. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to arbitrary global JNDI resources.
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118403 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2016-6796
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Tomcat could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions. By modifying configuration parameters for the JSP Servlet, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass a configured SecurityManager.
CVSS Base score: 4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118404 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2013-2185
DESCRIPTION:   Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform could allow a remote attacker to upload arbitrary files, caused by the improper validation of file extensions by the implementation of the DiskFileItem class. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using serialized instance of the DiskFileItem class to upload a file containing a NULL byte, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the vulnerable system.
CVSS Base score: 6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/87273 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P)

CVEID:   CVE-2011-3190
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the improper handling of messages by the AJP protocol. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary AJP messages to bypass the authentication process and possibly obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/69472 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)

CVEID:   CVE-2016-6816
DESCRIPTION:   Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/119158 for the current score.
