CVE-2018-8019 Apache Tomcat Native Connector - Mishandled OCSP invalid response
Severity: Moderate
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected:
Apache Tomcat Native 1.2.0 to 1.2.16
Apache Tomcat Native 1.1.23 to 1.1.34
Description:
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.
Mitigation:
Users of the affected versions should apply one of the following
mitigations:
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 1.2.17 or later
Note: This version was included in Apache Tomcat 9.0.10 onwards, 8.5.32
onwards, 8.0.53 onwards and 7.0.90 onwards.
