F5 Networks BIG-IP : Apache Tomcat information disclosure vulnerability (SOL9110)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 78226

Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.37, 5.5.0 through 5.5.26, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.16, when a RequestDispatcher is used, performs path normalization before removing the query string from the URI, which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files through a .. (dot dot) in a request parameter.

Solution

Upgrade to one of the non-vulnerable versions listed in the F5 Solution SOL9110.
