Apache Tomcat Permissions Privileges and Access Controls Vulnerability - CVE-2011-1184

Medium
Reference: CVE-2011-1184
Title: Apache Tomcat Permissions Privileges and Access Controls Vulnerability
Overview:

The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34 6.x before 6.0.33 and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not have the expected countermeasures against replay attacks which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by sniffing the network for valid requests related to lack of checking of nonce (aka server nonce) and nc (aka nonce-count or client nonce count) values.
