Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
An error in the Apache Tomcat JK Connector might allow for an |
19 |
information disclosure flaw. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
The Apache Tomcat JK Connector (aka mod_jk) connects the Tomcat |
25 |
application server with the Apache HTTP Server. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |
29 |
|
30 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
31 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
33 |
1 www-apache/mod_jk < 1.2.27 >= 1.2.27 |
34 |
|
35 |
Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
The Red Hat Security Response Team discovered that mod_jk does not |
39 |
properly handle (1) requests setting the "Content-Length" header while |
40 |
not providing data and (2) clients sending repeated requests very |
41 |
quickly. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests or a large |
47 |
number of requests at a time, possibly resulting in the disclosure of a |
48 |
response intended for another client. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All Apache Tomcat JK Connector users should upgrade to the latest |
59 |
version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apache/mod_jk-1.2.27" |
