OVERVIEW |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Tomcat 4.0.4 and 4.1.10 (probably all other earlier versions also) are |
| 17 |
vulnerable to |
| 18 |
source code exposure by using the default servlet |
| 19 |
org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
DETAIL |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Let say you have valid URL like http://my.site/login.jsp, then an URL like |
| 24 |
http://my.site/servlet/org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet/login.jsp |
| 25 |
will give you the source code of the JSP page. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The full syntaxes of the exposure URL is: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
http://{server}[:port]/[Context/]org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet |
| 30 |
/[context_relative_path/]file_name.jsp |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |

|

|
| 37 |
SOLUTION |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
| 40 |
net-www/tomcat-4.04 and earlier update their systems |
| 41 |
as follows: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
emerge rsync |
| 44 |
emerge tomcat |
| 45 |
emerge clean |
