Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
An error in the Apache Tomcat JK Connector might allow for an
information disclosure flaw.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
The Apache Tomcat JK Connector (aka mod_jk) connects the Tomcat
application server with the Apache HTTP Server.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apache/mod_jk < 1.2.27 >=3D 1.2.27
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
The Red Hat Security Response Team discovered that mod_jk does not
properly handle (1) requests setting the "Content-Length" header while
not providing data and (2) clients sending repeated requests very
quickly.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests or a large
number of requests at a time, possibly resulting in the disclosure of a
response intended for another client.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All Apache Tomcat JK Connector users should upgrade to the latest
version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dwww-apache/mod_jk-1.2.27"
