CVE-2025-24813

Red Hat statement

This vulnerability has a Moderate impact (rather than Important) because it requires multiple non-default configurations to be exploitable, significantly limiting its impact in typical deployments. For remote code execution (RCE), exploitation requires both file-based session persistence and a library vulnerable to deserialization, further reducing its likelihood. For information disclosure or file injection, the attack is only possible if writes are enabled for the default servlet, partial PUT requests are supported, and sensitive file uploads occur within a publicly writable directory. The combination of all three of these conditions is uncommon in secure environments. Since most modern Tomcat deployments do not meet all these criteria simultaneously, the overall risk is reduced The Tomcat package as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 is not affected by this vulnerability because the vulnerable code was introduced in a newer Tomcat version. Red Hat Satellite is not directly impacted by this issue as it does not include the affected Tomcat package. However, Tomcat is consumed by Candlepin, a component of Satellite. Red Hat Satellite users are advised to check the impact state of Red Hat Enterprise Linux as any necessary fixes will be distributed through the platform. Satellite configuration does not contain affected parameters that would make Tomcat vulnerable, therefore, even if a vulnerable Tomcat version is shipped with affected RHEL release alongside Satellite, there is no chance of it being exposed to flaw in Red Hat Satellite.

Red Hat mitigation

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
