CVE-2012-5885

UnknownEPSS 8.98%

Last modified

CVE-2012-5885 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The replay-countermeasure functionality in 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 tracks cnonce (aka client nonce) values instead of nonce (aka server nonce) and nc (aka nonce-count) values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by sniffing the network for valid requests, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184.. EPSS estimates a 8.98% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
