The ISEC7 EMM Suite must remove any unnecessaryusers or groups that have permissions to the server.xml file in Apache Tomcat.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Tomcat uses a port (defaults to 8005) as a shutdown port. Someone could Telnet to the machine using this port and send the default command SHUTDOWN. Tomcat and all web apps would shut down in that case, which is a denial of service attack and would cause an unwanted service interruption.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
