2016年9月30日，legalhackers.com网站发布了一个关于Tomcat漏洞的公告，所涉及漏洞的编号为CVE-2016-1240。Debian系统的Linux上管理员通常利用apt-get进行包管理，debian包的一个初始化脚本中存在漏洞，会让deb包安装程序自动执行启动脚本，脚本位置/etc/init.d/tomcatN
攻击者可以在拥有Tomcat低权限的情况下，利用该漏洞获得系统的root权限。受影响的系统包括Debian和ubuntu，其他使用debian包的系统也可能会受影响。

- https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-1240
漏洞编号
CVE-2016-4438
受影响的版本
受影响的系统包括Debian、Ubuntu，其他使用相应deb包的系统也可能受到影响。受影响的debian包如下：
- Tomcat 8 <= 8.0.36-2
- Tomcat 7 <= 7.0.70-2
- Tomcat 6 <= 6.0.45+dfsg-1~deb8u1
Tomcat是什么
Tomcat是个运行在Apache上的应用服务器，支持运行Servlet/JSP应用程序的容器——可以将Tomcat看作是Apache的扩展，实际上Tomcat也可以独立于Apache运行。
Tomcat是由Apache软件基金会下属的Jakarta项目开发的一个Servlet容器，按照Sun Microsystems提供的技术规范，实现了对Servlet和JavaServer Page（JSP）的支持，并提供了作为Web服务器的一些特有功能，如Tomcat管理和控制平台、安全域管理和Tomcat阀等。由于Tomcat本身也内含了一个HTTP服务器，它也可以被视作一个单独的Web服务器。
Debian是什么
广义的Debian是指一个致力于创建自由操作系统的合作组织及其作品，由于Debian项目众多内核分支中以Linux宏内核为主，而且 Debian开发者 所创建的操作系统中绝大部分基础工具来自于GNU工程 ，因此 “Debian” 常指Debian GNU/Linux。
规避方案
Tomcat安全团队已经修复了受影响的包，建议用户升级到最新版本，新版本下载地址如下：
- https://sources.debian.net/src/tomcat6/
- https://sources.debian.net/src/tomcat7/
- https://sources.debian.net/src/tomcat8/
Tomcat Root提权漏洞简析
本地攻击者，作为tomcat用户（比如说，通过web应用的漏洞）若将catalina.out修改为指向任意系统文件的链接，一旦Tomcat init脚本（ROOT权限运行）在服务重启后再次打开catalina.out文件，攻击者就可获取ROOT权限。
# Run the catalina.sh script as a daemon
set +e
touch "$CATALINA_PID" "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out
chown $TOMCAT7_USER "$CATALINA_PID" "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out

# Tomcat 6/7/8 on Debian-based distros - Local Root Privilege Escalation Exploit
#
# CVE-2016-1240
#
# Discovered and coded by:
#
# Dawid Golunski
# http://legalhackers.com
#
# This exploit targets Tomcat (versions 6, 7 and 8) packaging on
# Debian-based distros including Debian, Ubuntu etc.
# It allows attackers with a tomcat shell (e.g. obtained remotely through a
# vulnerable java webapp, or locally via weak permissions on webapps in the
# Tomcat webroot directories etc.) to escalate their privileges to root.
#
# Usage:
# ./tomcat-rootprivesc-deb.sh path_to_catalina.out [-deferred]
#
# The exploit can used in two ways:
#
# -active (assumed by default) - which waits for a Tomcat restart in a loop and instantly
# gains/executes a rootshell via ld.so.preload as soon as Tomcat service is restarted.
# It also gives attacker a chance to execute: kill [tomcat-pid] command to force/speed up
# a Tomcat restart (done manually by an admin, or potentially by some tomcat service watchdog etc.)
#
# -deferred (requires the -deferred switch on argv[2]) - this mode symlinks the logfile to
# /etc/default/locale and exits. It removes the need for the exploit to run in a loop waiting.
# Attackers can come back at a later time and check on the /etc/default/locale file. Upon a
# Tomcat restart / server reboot, the file should be owned by tomcat user. The attackers can
# then add arbitrary commands to the file which will be executed with root privileges by
# the /etc/cron.daily/tomcatN logrotation cronjob (run daily around 6:25am on default
# Ubuntu/Debian Tomcat installations).
#
