A security vulnerability has been confirmed to exist in Apache Tomcat |
16 |
4.0.x releases (including Tomcat 4.0.5), which allows to use a specially |
17 |
crafted URL to return the unprocessed source of a JSP page, or, under |
18 |
special circumstances, a static resource which would otherwise have been |
19 |
protected by security constraint, without the need for being properly |
20 |
authenticated. This is based on a variant of the exploit that was |
21 |
disclosed on 09/24/2002. |
