Platforms Tested:
Apache HTTP Server Tomcat Directory Traversal Vulnerability
The Apache HTTP servers running with the Tomcat servlet container are prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability. This vulnerability occurs due to the insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input data. Exploiting this issue allows attackers to access arbitrary files in the Tomcat webroot, potentially exposing sensitive information that could aid in launching further attacks.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 5.5.22 or later for the 5.0 series, or version 6.0.10 or later for the 6.0 series.
