CVE-2007-5342 is an insecure default-permissions vulnerability in the JULI logging component of Apache Tomcat 5.5.9 through 5.5.25 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.15. The default catalina.policy grants web applications permissions that insufficiently restrict JULI logging configuration. An untrusted web application can modify org.apache.juli.FileHandler settings, including its logging level, output directory, and filename prefix, allowing it to direct logging output to arbitrary locations writable by the Tomcat process and overwrite files.
