CVE-2016-6325 is an improper access control vulnerability in Red Hat-packaged Apache Tomcat. Certain configuration files consumed by the Tomcat initialization script were writable by the tomcat group. A tomcat-group member, including code operating through a malicious application deployed to Tomcat, could modify initialization configuration that is subsequently processed by the service startup mechanism and escalate local privileges. Affected products include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 through 7 Tomcat packages, JBoss Web Server 3.0, and JBoss EWS 2.
