Description
Improper Input Validation vulnerability.<br />
<br />
This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.14, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.49, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.112.<br />
<br />
The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are <br />
known to be affected: 8.5.0 through 8.5.100. Older EOL versions are not affected.<br />
Tomcat did not validate that the host name provided via the SNI <br />
extension was the same as the host name provided in the HTTP host header <br />
field. If Tomcat was configured with more than one virtual host and the <br />
TLS configuration for one of those hosts did not require client <br />
certificate authentication but another one did, it was possible for a <br />
client to bypass the client certificate authentication by sending <br />
different host names in the SNI extension and the HTTP host header field.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The vulnerability only applies if client certificate authentication is <br />
only enforced at the Connector. It does not apply if client certificate <br />
authentication is enforced at the web application.<br />
<br />
<br />
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.15 or later, 10.1.50 or later or 9.0.113 or later, which fix the issue.
