Debian Security Advisory

DLA-1475-1 tomcat-native -- LTS security update

Date Reported:
22 Aug 2018
Affected Packages:
tomcat-native
Vulnerable:
Yes
Security database references:
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2018-8019, CVE-2018-8020.
More information:

When using an OCSP responder Tomcat Native did not correctly handle invalid responses. This allowed for revoked client certificates to be incorrectly identified. It was therefore possible for users to authenticate with revoked certificates when using mutual TLS. Users not using OCSP checks are not affected by this vulnerability.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.32~repack-2+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat-native packages.
