Hi Wade,
I have tomcat sitting on 127.0.0.1:8080 (http) and 127.0.0.1:8081
(https) and use ipfw to forward from port 80 and 443 respectively. Could
this part of my problem? I am wondering if this is some kind of false
positive. Following is an excerpt from the Nessus Scan Report:
******************************************************************
Synopsis :
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by
multiple vulnerabilities.
Description :
The remote host is running phpSysInfo, a PHP application that parses
the /proc entries on Linux/Unix systems and displays them in HTML.
The installed version of phpSysInfo on the remote host has a design
flaw in its globalization layer such that the script's variables can
be overwritten independent of PHP's 'register_globals' setting. By
exploiting this issue, an attacker may be able to read arbitrary files
on the remote host (if PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is off) and
even execute arbitrary PHP code, both subject to the privileges of the
web server user id.
In addition, the application fails to sanitize user-supplied input
before using it in dynamically-generated pages, which can be used to
conduct cross-site scripting and HTTP response splitting attacks.
See also :
http://www.hardened-php.net/advisory_222005.81.html
Solution :
Upgrade to phpSysInfo 2.4.1 or later.
Risk factor :
Low / CVSS Base Score : 2.3
(AV:R/AC:L/Au:NR/C:N/I:P/A:N/B:N)
CVE : CVE-2003-0536, CVE-2005-0870, CVE-2005-3347, CVE-2005-3348
BID : 7286, 15396, 15414
Nessus ID : 20215
