CVE: CVE-2017-5664
Component: tomcat
CWE: CWE-266
Severity: Important
CVSS v3: 7.5/CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
Release date: 2017-06-06T00:00:00+00:00

A vulnerability was discovered in the error page mechanism in Tomcat's DefaultServlet implementation. A crafted HTTP request could cause undesired side effects, possibly including the removal or replacement of the custom error page.

Statement: This flaw can be triggered for static error pages only if the readonly property for the DefaultServlet is set to false in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml file.  The default for readonly is true.

If it is necessary to have the DefaultServlet property readonly=false, use a jsp error page, for example Error404.jsp rather than a static html error page. Alternatively do not specify an error-page in the Deployment Descriptor and use a custom ErrorReportValve.
