Apache Tomcat JK Connector Content-Length Header Cross-User Information Disclosure
low Nessus Plugin ID 46885
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server is prone to an information disclosure attack.Description
Based on the Server response header, the installation of the JK Connector (mod_jk) in Apache Tomcat listening on the remote host is version 1.2.x prior to 1.2.27. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. A remote attacker can view the response associated with a different user's request, either by sending a request with a Content-Length without data or by sending repeated requests very quickly.Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to mod_jk version 1.2.27 or later.See Also
