Apache Tomcat SSL configuration security bypass
| tomcat-ssl-security-bypass (34212) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an error in the SSL default configuration. A remote attacker could use insecure cipher suites including the anonymous cipher suite to bypass security restrictions to obtain sensitive information and possibly launch further attacks on the vulnerable system.
