Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 8.5.88 Information Disclosure

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 8.5.88, 9.0.74, 10.1.8 or 11.0.0-M5. The fix for bug 66512 introduced a regression that was fixed as bug 66591. The regression meant that, if a response did not have any HTTP headers set, no AJP SEND_HEADERS message would be sent which in turn meant that at least one AJP based proxy (mod_proxy_ajp) would use the response headers from the previous request for the current request leading to an information leak.

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 8.5.89 or later.
