Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities were found in the Apache Tomcat Manager application. The session list screen (provided by sessionList.jsp) in affected versions uses the orderBy and sort request parameters without applying filtering and therefore is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. Tomcat 6 does not use httpOnly for session cookies by default so this vulnerability could expose session cookies from the manager application to an attacker. A review of the Manager application by the Apache Tomcat security team identified additional XSS vulnerabilities if the web applications deployed were not trusted. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-4172 to this issue.
More information about this vulnerability can be found in the security advisory issued by Apache Tomcat:

Recommended Actions for System Products:
Avaya strongly recommends that customers follow
networking and security best practices by implementing
firewalls, ACLs, physical security or other appropriate
access restrictions. Though Avaya believes such
restrictions should always be in place, risk to Avaya
products and the surrounding network from this potential
vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these
practices are implemented until such time as an Avaya provided
product update or the recommended Avaya action is applied.
Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the
customer's security policies may be required during this
interim period, but customers should not modify the System Product
operating system or application unless the change is approved by Avaya.
Making changes that are not approved may void the Avaya product service contract.
When determining risk, Avaya takes into account many factors as outlined by Avaya's Security Vulnerability Classification Policy. The following table describes factors that mitigate the risk of specific vulnerabilities for affected Avaya products:
| Vulnerability | Mitigating Factors |
|---|---|
|
CVE-2010-4172 |
This issue is a Low risk for Application Enablement Services and Voice Portal as the
Apache Tomcat Manager application is disabled by default. There is no risk for Presence Services, Session Manager and System Manager as the Apache Tomcat Manager is not installed. |
