CVE-2022-23181

The fix for bug CVE-2020-9484 introduced a time of check, time of use vulnerability into Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M8, 10.0.0-M5 to 10.0.14, 9.0.35 to 9.0.56 and 8.5.55 to 8.5.73 that allowed a local attacker to perform actions with the privileges of the user that the Tomcat process is using. This issue is only exploitable when Tomcat is configured to persist sessions using the FileStore.

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, Red Hat Certificate System 10 and Identity Management are using the pki-servlet-engine component. This component embeds a version of Tomcat which is not affected by this flaw, as it does not include the fix for CVE-2020-9484. Additionally, in these specific contexts, the prerequisites to the vulnerability are not met. The PersistentManager is not set, and a SecurityManager is used. The use of pki-servlet-engine outside of these contexts is not supported.
