Title:Apache Tomcat HTTP Request Line Information Disclosure Vulnerability - Linux
Summary:Apache Tomcat is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Apache Tomcat is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The code that parsed the HTTP request line
permitted invalid characters. This could be exploited, in conjunction with a
proxy that also permitted the invalid characters but with a different
interpretation, to inject data into the HTTP response.

Vulnerability Impact:
Successful exploitation will allow remote
attackers to poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack and/or obtain sensitive
information from requests other then their own.

Affected Software/OS:
Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M11,
Apache Tomcat versions 8.5.0 to 8.5.6,
Apache Tomcat versions 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.38,
Apache Tomcat versions 7.0.0 to 7.0.72, and
Apache Tomcat versions 6.0.0 to 6.0.47 on Linux.

Solution:
Upgrade to version 9.0.0.M13,
8.5.8, 8.0.39, 7.0.73, 6.0.48 or later.

CVSS Score:
6.8
