Summary
tomcat7, tomcat8 vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain pipelined requests when sendfile was used. A remote attacker could use this issue to obtain wrong responses possibly containing sensitive information. (CVE-2017-5647)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly used the appropriate facade object. A malicious application could possibly use this to bypass Security Manager restrictions. (CVE-2017-5648)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled error pages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to replace or remove the custom error page. (CVE-2017-5664)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled the CORS filter. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform cache poisoning. (CVE-2017-7674)
