| Rule Name: | Apache Tomcat CGI Servlet Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2019-0232) | |
| Severity: | ||
| CVE ID: | ||
| Rule Protection Details |
|---|
| Description: | When running on Windows with enableCmdLineArguments enabled, the CGI Servlet in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.39 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.93 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution due to a bug in the way the JRE passes command line arguments to Windows. The CGI Servlet is disabled by default. The CGI option enableCmdLineArguments is disable by default in Tomcat 9.0.x (and will be disabled by default in all versions in response to this vulnerability). For a detailed explanation of the JRE behaviour, see Markus Wulftange's blog (https://codewhitesec.blogspot.com/2016/02/java-and-command-line-injections-in-windows.html) and this archived MSDN blog (https://web.archive.org/web/20161228144344/https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/twistylittlepassagesallalike/2011/04/23/everyone-quotes-command-line-arguments-the-wrong-way/). | |
| Impact: | An attacker can execute arbitrary code via a successful exploit in the context of the vulnerable software. | |
| Affected OS: | Windows, Linux, Others | |
