TIMELINE Nov 17 Reserved by mitre Nov 17 Published (CNA: mitre) Oct 9 ENRICHED — CVE-2012-5887. Received CVSS 5.0 and CPE data from NVD.
The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.36, 6.x before 6.0.36, and 7.x before 7.0.30 does not properly check for stale nonce values in conjunction with enforcement of proper credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by sniffing the network for valid requests.
