The Tomcat 6 DIGEST authentication functionality as used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by performing a replay attack after a nonce becomes stale. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-5887.

Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2012-5885, CVE-2012-5886, CVE-2012-5887. Reason: This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2012-5885, CVE-2012-5886, and CVE-2012-5887. Notes: All CVE users should reference one or more of CVE-2012-5885, CVE-2012-5886, and CVE-2012-5887 instead of this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage.

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.
