Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 7.0.x < 7.0.77 Information Disclosure

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Apache Tomcat service running on the remote host is 7.0.x prior to 7.0.77. It is therefore affected by a flaw in the handling of pipelined requests when send file processing is used that results in the pipelined request being lost when processing of the previous request has completed, causing responses to be sent for the wrong request. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information.

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 7.0.77 or later.
