Apache Tomcat HTTP Digest Access Authentication contains a hard-coded server secret in its DigestAuthenticator implementation. The fixed, publicly knowable value weakens the cryptographic protection used by HTTP Digest authentication. The issue affects Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12. This vulnerability is distinct from CVE-2011-1184.
