RE: Apache Struts 2 Vulnerability in Tomcat 7.x

Hi Markus , 

Thanks. So can I rephrase that unless we add/deploy struts 
applications/libraries on Tomcat , vanilla installed Tomcat is not impacted by 
the mentioned vulnerability in Struts?

Tomcat is affected by Tomcat vulnerabilities, Struts is affected by Struts 
vulnerabilities.

If you deploy old and not uptodate Struts libraries in Tomcat, then you will be 
exposed to the corresponding exploits. In this case, as always and independent 
of the nature of the component: upgrade to the latest available version and or 
use other measure to block attacking requests.

Which one? I'm guessing you mean CVE-2017-9805. It actually doesn't
matter in this case but security vulnerabilities are given identifiers
exactly so they can be referred to unambiguously. Struts has had quite a
few vulnerabilities so it is not obvious from your query which one you
are referring to.

No currently supported version of Apache Tomcat has any dependency on
any version of Struts.

Applications that might have been deployed on Tomcat may still have
dependencies on Struts and you'd need to approach the providers of each
of those applications for more information.

Apache Struts 2 Vulnerability in Tomcat 7.x

2017-09-08 Thread Billy Aung Myint
Hi Everyone,

May I know if Tomcat 7.x version is affected by the Apache Struts 2 
vulnerability?
I mean does Tomcat uses any of the Struts' libraries or such in any part of the 
Tomcat?

Thanks!
