<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tomcat allows special characters like slash, backslash or URL-encoded
|
|
backslash as a separator, while Apache does not.

|
<impact type="low">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted URL to the vulnerable
|
|
Tomcat server, possibly resulting in a directory traversal and read
|
|
access to arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running
|
|
Tomcat. Note that this vulnerability can only be exploited when using
|
|
apache proxy modules like mod_proxy, mod_rewrite or mod_jk.
|
|
</p>
|

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Tomcat users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/tomcat-5.5.22"</code>
