Title:	'/WEB-INF../' Information Disclosure Vulnerability (HTTP)
Summary:	Various application or web servers / products are prone to an; information disclosure vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: Various application or web servers / products are prone to an information disclosure vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: The servlet specification prohibits servlet containers from serving resources in the '/WEB-INF' and '/META-INF' directories of a web application archive directly to clients. This means that URLs like: http://example.com/WEB-INF/web.xml will return an error message, rather than the contents of the deployment descriptor. However, some application or web servers / products are prone to a vulnerability that exposes this information if the client requests a URL like this instead: http://example.com/WEB-INF../web.xml http://example.com/web-inf../web.xml (note the double dot ('..') after 'WEB-INF'). Vulnerability Impact: Based on the information provided in this file an attacker might be able to gather additional info and / or sensitive data about the application / the application / web server. Affected Software/OS: The following products are known to be affected: - Caucho Resin version 2.1.12 on Apache HTTP server version 1.3.29 Other products and versions might be affected as well. Solution: Please contact the vendor for more information on possible fixes. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
