Vulnerability discussion

Installation of patches and updates is performed when there are errors or security vulnerabilities in the current release of the software. When previous versions of software components are not removed from the application server after updates have been installed, an attacker may use the older components to exploit the system.

Check content

Review the application server documentation and configuration to determine if organization-defined software components are removed after updated versions have been installed. If organization-defined software components are not removed after updated versions have been installed, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the application server to remove organization-defined software components after updated versions have been installed.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
