CVE-2014-7810

Publication date 7 June 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The Expression Language (EL) implementation in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.44, 7.x before 7.0.58, and 8.x before 8.0.16 does not properly consider the possibility of an accessible interface implemented by an inaccessible class, which allows attackers to bypass a SecurityManager protection mechanism via a web application that leverages use of incorrect privileges during EL evaluation.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that the Tomcat Expression Language (EL) implementation incorrectly handled accessible interfaces implemented by inaccessible classes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass a SecurityManager protection mechanism.
