Summary:Apache Tomcat is prone to an information disclosure; vulnerability.
Description:Summary:

proxy that also permitted the invalid characters but with a different
interpretation, to inject data into the HTTP response.

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 through 9.0.0.M11, 8.5.0
through 8.5.6, 8.0.0.RC1 through 8.0.38, 7.0.0 through 7.0.72 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.47.
