Category:	Web Servers
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 slash ('/') before '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: - Mort Bay Jetty version 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 (other older versions might be affected as well). - Apache Tomcat before version 3.2.1. - Ignite Realtime Openfire before version 3.4.4 (using an affected Jetty version). - Allaire JRUN 3.0 - JavaServer Web Dev Kit (JSWDK) 1.0.1 for Windows 2000 Other products might be affected as well. Solution: The following vendor fixes are known: - Update Mort Bay Jetty to version 6.1.7 or later. - Update Apache Tomcat to version 3.2.1 or later. - Update Ignite Realtime Openfire to version 3.4.4 or later. For other products 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
