Is it possible to remove an installation of a compiler on a production web

Hi Pid,



 Which MBean are you reading that on?


Name: java.lang:type=Threading
modelerType: sun.management.ThreadImpl
ThreadAllocatedMemoryEnabled: true
ThreadAllocatedMemorySupported: true
ThreadContentionMonitoringEnabled: false
DaemonThreadCount: 84
...


 Tomcat has lots of MBeans and more than one way to create a thread pool.
 The JVM has threads and can contain multiple thread pools.


Yes, for sure.  Thanks.


 Yes, as of Tomcat 6.0.x, without an Executor the Connectors will have a
 pool each, and this will not decrease in size when idle.


Thanks for confirming.  I will put an Executor pool in place.

Certainly.  As soon as you tell us how much you are willing to pay for such a 
comprehensive analysis and report.

Maxie, 

You're probably referring to a DoD or similar security requirement. In the Web 
Server STIG, Rule ID SV-2236r8 says, Installation of compilers on production 
web server is prohibited. The explanation provided is, The presence of a 
compiler on a production server facilitates the malicious user's task of 
creating custom versions of programs and installing Trojan Horses or viruses. 
For example, the attacker's code can be uploaded and compiled on the server 
under attack. 

There are exceptions to this rule, The same STIG says, This check does not 
prohibit the use of the .Net Framework or the Java compiler for Oracle, and 
An exception is the Java Development Kit installed in conjunction with a 
WebSphere service or Java Server Page (JSP). 

You need to push back and tell your Security Auditors that the Java and Jasper 
compilers are required for Tomcat. Provide any documentation they require. 

Steve
